00:00:03 You know, even though we have Uber and Lift and taxis and all different ways to get rides home, if uh people are out and choose to drink and maybe drink more than they should to drive, it seems like there’s still way too many people that choose to do that foolishly. So, if you get hit by a drunk driver, I say we’re the people to call because we know how to handle these cases. We’ve handled so many drunk driver cases over the course of the last many years and there’s there’s kind of always a calculated way

00:00:32 we go about it. And I always tell people if you get hit by a drunk driver, if your case was worth X, the drunk driver component of it makes it worth multiples of that. And the reason is is this. When you get hit by a drunk driver, it affords you or it affords the injured person the ability to seek punitive damages against the injured party. Not going to disclose all my secrets here because I don’t want all my competitors to know. But let’s just say we have a very calculated way of what we do when

00:01:01 we bring our motion for punitive damages and what follows after that. And I can confidently say if somebody gets hit by a drunk driver, which we never want. Sad thing. Don’t want people to get hurt, especially not in that way. But if they do and they come here, we will have a very calculated way of pursuing their case. We will explain it to them at the beginning. We will carry it out. And I can confidently say when a drunk driver is involved and the policy limits are there, there’s a significant amount of

00:01:31 money to be paid because drunk drivers need to be punished. And the law allows us and helps us to do that.
