Ellijay Drunk Driver Accident Attorney

Injury by DUI Driver

Too often crashes caused by DUI Drivers result in significant and serious injuries to the innocent victims of the DUI driver. While the liability or at fault portion of an Injury by DUI claim would seem to be simple, DUI car accident cases are in fact extremely technical and can be quite difficult to resolve.

In addition to your claim for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering – DUI Injury claims also involve claims for punitive damages [link to our blog on punitive damages – already complete and in blog folder], which are assessed not to compensate the innocent victim of the DUI driver for their injury, but to punish the DUI driver for their reckless and dangerous behavior. Calculating and recovering punitive damages can be difficult and requires an Attorney both knowledgeable and skilled in the science and techniques of detecting impaired drivers.

Our Ellijay DUI injury attorneys have received special training on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration course for the detection of impaired drivers – the same course taught to law enforcement across the Country for their DUI officers and have passed the accompanying tests to administer standardized field sobriety examinations. Our DUI Injury Attorneys have taught at numerous classes on the subject of DUI drivers and DUI cases and are recognized by their peers for the excellence in the field of DUI law.

DUI car accident injury cases may involve highly technical issues involving breath testing devices, chemical blood panels, standardized field sobriety testing, and special case law relevant only to DUI cases – if you have been injured by a DUI driver it is imperative that you hire a qualified DUI injury attorney to represent you and fight to recover the full compensation you are entitled to.
