Generally the person who was injured by the drunk driver is the person to bring a lawsuit to recover compensation. However, if that person was killed as a direct result of the drunk driving accident, a family member or a legal representative may bring a wrongful death action on the loved one’s behalf. In some instances family members who were near the scene of the accident may also be able to bring a lawsuit.
