Accidents What It Means: DUI – Driving Under the Influence DWI – Driving While Intoxicated If you or someone you love was injured in a car or truck crash, just remember that insurance companies do not have your loved one’s best interest in mind. Accidents typically involve issuance of traffic tickets, police reports, and accident scene interviews with drivers, victims and witnesses.

Understanding policy limits, uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM and UIM) coverage, and negotiating with insurance company adjusters can be overwhelming.
