Drunk Driving Accident

Hit by a Drunk Driver in Cobb County

A drunk driving accident usually ends up with someone seriously injured. When individuals choose to get behind the wheel when they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, those who are sharing the streets, roads or highways are in serious risk of injury. Drivers that are intoxicated have a slow reaction time, make random lane changes, speed, swerve and sometimes are traveling the wrong way on a street or highway. If you or a loved one has been the victim of one of these dangerous and negligent drivers, it is critical that you immediately get legal representation from a car accident lawyer to protect your right to compensation.

While drivers that are found to be under the influence may face criminal charges, that is not always enough to cover the damages that have been caused when a car accident ensues. Compensation is often needed and deserved for physical injuries and even the emotional trauma that can arise. With estimations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of about one person killed by a drunk driving accident every 48 minutes, the issue is a major one that needs to be properly addressed.
