Atlanta DUI Accident Attorneys Holding Drunk Drivers Accountable in Georgia
Drunk drivers and drugged drivers cause thousands of accidents throughout the U.S. each year. With reduced motor function skills and delayed reaction time, it only takes a second for a drunk driver to cross the center line, run a red light or blow through a stop sign, leading to serious and catastrophic injuries for others involved in the drunk driving accident.
Georgia law takes a dim view of those who injure others through drug and alcohol abuse. In Georgia, a punitive damages award is usually limited to a maximum of $250,000. But, when the injury involves drugs or alcohol, the jury may award uncapped punitive damages to punish the defendant and to deter other defendants from engaging in the same behavior.

Drunk Driving Accident Injuries and Recovery
After a motor vehicle accident, it is critical that you and your family focus on your health and well-being. Many types of car accident injuries take time, energy and rehabilitation or physical therapy. It is important, however, that your attorney begin collecting key evidence as soon as possible. All sorts of evidence must be secured, ranging from empty beer can in defendants' floorboards to the defendant's blood and/or urine samples.
Common injuries caused by a drunk driving crash include brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and other life-threatening injuries. Whether you were struck by a drunk truck driver, a drunk motorcyclist or a drunk car driver, you have the right to compensation for your injuries, medical bills and lost wages.
