Drinking and driving is a reckless decision made by millions of Americans annually. Consequently, thousands are either killed or injured because of drunk driving accidents.

The injuries sustained by victims of such accidents are often so severe that they’re enough to cause huge financial losses to the victims and their families. Fortunately, the law protects these victims with the right to recover damages from the responsible party, and in many cases, recover punitive damages as well.

DUI laws in Georgia specify the legal blood alcohol count at 0.08% or lower. Any higher than that figure debilitates a person’s reflexes and decision-making skills. Thus, they often drive too fast, have difficulty controlling their vehicles, or even go against oncoming traffic.

The insurance company of the responsible party will often make it a point to pay the victim only the minimum compensation. Thus, it is important that you seek the help of an expert DUI attorney right away if you are a victim.
