Don’t Settle for Less

If you were hit by a drunk driver in Vancouver, the harm was preventable. The claim should reflect that.

Grant prepares DUI injury cases in Vancouver for court so the claim reflects the long-term medical, financial, and personal impact of the crash.

DUI Injury Claims Are Defended Aggressively

When someone is hit by a drunk driver in Vancouver or anywhere in Clark County, there may be a criminal case. But the civil claim is separate.

Insurance companies still work to reduce payouts. They may push for a quick resolution before long-term injuries are clear.

These crashes often involve:

  • High-speed impact
  • Head-on or wrong-way collisions
  • Severe brain or spinal injuries
  • Permanent disability
  • Wrongful death

Why Court Preparation Matters

A DUI arrest does not guarantee fair compensation. The insurance company evaluates risk, not morality.

When a lawyer prepares the case for Clark County court, the leverage changes. Trial readiness signals that the claim will be supported with documentation, experts, and testimony if necessary.

How Grant Builds A Strong DUI Case

  • Secures police, arrest, and toxicology reports
  • Reviews crash investigation findings
  • Documents long-term medical impact
  • Identifies all available insurance coverage
  • Files suit when fair resolution is refused
  • Prepares the case for trial when required

What Compensation May Include

If you were hit by a drunk driver, Washington law allows you to pursue compensation for both immediate and future losses.
That may include:
  • Emergency care and hospitalization
  • Surgery and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and long-term disability
  • Property damage
  • Wrongful death damages in fatal cases

What Grant Can Handle For You

DUI injury claims require structured preparation. Grant Gehrmann has practiced in Vancouver since 1992 and focuses on serious injury litigation across Clark County and Southwest Washington. When you are hit by a drunk driver, he builds a claim designed for serious review and, when necessary, court.

  • Manage communication with insurers
  • Secure critical crash documentation
  • Coordinate medical and financial records
  • Identify all responsible parties
  • Position the case for litigation if needed
