Drunk Drivers Are Dangerous

Every year, more than 10,000 people are killed in drunk driving accidents across the U.S. According to the CDC, alcohol plays a factor in nearly 30% of all traffic-related deaths. Too many drivers underestimate their level of intoxication, with some drivers thinking they are “good” when they are buzzed or drunk. There is no such thing as a good drunk driver!

Despite these statistics and life altering affects, drunk drivers continue to get behind the wheel. With expanded transportation options, like ridesharing, there’s no excuse for impaired driving. Simply put: every drunk driving accident is preventable. And the criminal justice system fails to hold drunk drivers accountable for their actions with sentences that include minimal jail time, if any, minor fines and a few classes. The experienced DUI attorneys at Georgia Trial Attorneys is committed actually righting these wrongs.

A Drunk Driver’s Loss Is Your Gain

In general, a car accident victim is entitled to be compensated for their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering. But in cases involving drunk drivers, the injured victim can seek additional compensation to punish the drunk driver. This type of monetary award is called “punitive damages.” After paying for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, an experienced drunk driving accident attorney can get you more money from the drunk driver’s insurance company.

Understanding Your Options After A Drunk Driving Accident

In Georgia, victims of drunk drivers also may be able to pursue compensation from the bar, brewery, or restaurant that served the drunk driver. This known as a “Dram Shop” claim. When a bar, brewery, restaurant or social host serves alcohol to someone after they have become visibly intoxicated and that drunk driver causes an accident, the provider of alcohol can be liable under Georgia law.

Most Georgia DUI attorneys are afraid of going to court. They push victims of drunk drivers to accept quicks settlement without filing a lawsuit. However, the experienced litigators at Georgia Trial Attorneys know there is added value in filing a lawsuit to determine if there is a separate Dram Shop claim. You should never settle for less than you deserve or less than you are entitled to receive.
