He has helped hundreds of people receive the compensation that they deserved for their injuries, and he stands ready to help you today.

Hold drunk drivers accountable for their actions

In addition to criminal charges, drunk drivers can be taken to civil court and sued for causing bodily or personal injuries. Personal injury cases typically involve two separate issues, establishing liability for the accident, and determining the amount of monetary damages. In many cases, the drunk driver admits liability for the accident to avoid taking the witness stand, and the case involves an assessment of damages regarding the extent of injury.

Attorney Steven Snow provides his clients with aggressive representation during personal injury trials. He often consults experts in accident reconstruction, medical, vocational and economics experts to testify about the nature and circumstances surrounding your injuries and how much they may be worth. Prior to closing arguments, judges often provide the jury with a Verdict Slip that contains a list of questions that require either a “Yes” or “No” answer.

Common questions on verdict slips include:

1. Was the defendant negligent?
2. Was the defendant’s negligence a substantial contributing factor in causing the plaintiff's injuries?
3. What amount of money will fairly and adequately compensate the plaintiff?

Attorney Snow works to convince the jury that the driver’s negligence caused your injuries and that you deserve the maximum amount of compensation available for your injuries.
