An Overview of Drunk Driving Injuries in Georgia
Every 30 minutes, someone in this country dies in an alcohol-related crash. Last year alone, more than one million people were injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes. In a lawsuit arising from a drunk driving accident, in addition to the intoxicated driver being held liable for the injuries he or she caused, a bar or social host may be liable for damages if they served an obviously intoxicated guest, who then drove and caused an accident. The fact that the person who served the intoxicated driver alcohol may be held liable does not relieve the intoxicated driver of liability, however. Experienced personal injury attorneys are aware of the many laws governing legal responsibility and can help you identify who may be held responsible for your injuries, including people or businesses you may not have considered.
It is important to remember that insurance companies have vast experience in evaluating personal injury claims and will seek to obtain the lowest settlement possible. Because of this, it is important to have a person with considerable experience dealing with insurance companies on your behalf. It is best to retain an attorney who regularly handles wrongful death claims and will be prepared to institute litigation on your behalf if the insurance company is unwilling to settle your claim for a fair value.
