How can victims of drunk drivers receive compensation?

One question that frequently arises after a DUI accident is: how can I receive compensation from a drunk driver if the driver has no money? There are many ways to get compensation from a drunk driver that do not involve directly collecting from the driver, including:

  • The insurance company that provides liability coverage for the driver;
  • Your own insurance company, if the driver has no insurance, under your uninsured motorist policy;
  • The employer or the employer’s insurance company if the driver was on the job at the time of the accident;
  • A friend or relative who loaned a vehicle to the driver;
  • Any establishment that served alcohol to the intoxicated driver, under certain circumstances.
