What to Do If You’re Hit by a Drunk Driver in Tulsa

Drunk Driving Accidents: What Are Your Legal Rights?
Being hit by a drunk driver can cause severe injuries, financial strain, and emotional trauma. Oklahoma law holds intoxicated drivers accountable, but victims still need to fight for fair compensation.

Oklahoma’s DUI Laws (47 O.S. § 11-902)
A driver is legally intoxicated if their Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or higher. A drunk driver faces criminal charges, but victims must file a separate civil lawsuit to recover damages.

What to Do After a DUI Accident

1. Call 911 Immediately – A police report is critical evidence.
2. Seek Medical Attention – Some injuries aren’t immediately visible.
3. Gather Evidence – Take photos, record witness statements, and save medical records.
4. Contact a Tulsa Personal Injury Attorney – Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim.

Can You Sue a Bar or Restaurant for Overserving a Drunk Driver?
Oklahoma’s Dram Shop Laws allow victims to sue businesses that served alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person before the crash.
