A DUI, which stands for “driving under the influence,” is often misunderstood as pertaining only to alcohol consumption. However, in New York, the definition of DUI encompasses operating a vehicle after consuming not only alcohol but also any controlled substance. This includes both illegal drugs and legally prescribed medications that may impair one’s ability to drive.
Victims of Buffalo drunk driving accidents are typically eligible to receive damages that are broken into two categories: economic and non-economic.
Economic damages are those losses that are quantifiable and impact your finances directly.
Examples of economic damages include:
Economic damages are easier to calculate because they will likely have a paper trail, such as bills, estimates, and receipts.
Non-economic damages are those that are harder to calculate and can be difficult to prove.
Examples of non-economic damages include:
Non-economic damages are more personal and subjective in nature, but they are no less critical in impacting your quality of life. Our Buffalo DUI accident lawyers at O’Brien & Ford Buffalo Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers will do everything we can to prove your right to non-economic damages.
