You should speak with a personal injury lawyer. You are entitled to recover past and future medical expenses, past and future pain and suffering and mental anguish, past and future lost wages, and disfigurement. Since a DWI was issued to the at-fault driver, you will be entitled to punitive damages as well. I handle these cases daily and I would glad to speak with you about this and can be reached at 512-751-0680.

I'll echo the "call a lawyer" responses. I'll add that you may have other avenues of recovery. Since the sister sold out her brother, you can sue the driver and prevent him from getting a driver's license until he pays you. Also, you may have supplemental insurance that may cover this. Also, depending on where the driver was served, there may be a dram shop issue, allowing an additional type of recovery. It's complicated, but doable. Please contact a lawyer soon. Time isn't on your side.

Based on what you have written, you may be able to recover a variety of items such as past and future medical expenses, past and future pain and suffering, mental anguish, past and future lost wages, and disfigurement. Furthermore, due to the fact that this was a DWI and such criminal charges were issued to the at-fault driver; you may be entitled to punitive damages. Do you know where the driver got the alcohol from (e.g., commercial business, resturant, private residence, etc.)?

You really need to contact a local law firm immediately to assist you with protecting your rights and interests. Time is not a friend to you when you have been injured in a accident.
