Can You File Personal Injury Claim Against DUI Drivers?

Even though drivers who have been arrested for DUI will be processed in the criminal court, it doesn’t mean that you can’t pursue a personal injury claim against them. After all, personal injury claims aren’t criminal cases; they are civil ones. Civil cases are processed in civil court, which means that it is possible to file a civil claim while the at-fault driver is also being trialed in the criminal court.
