Atlanta’s Injury Advocate For Over 35 Years
Drunk driving accidents are senseless crimes that could have been prevented if the drunk driver made the choice not to drive. With all of the options available for getting around these days, including Uber, Lyft, taxis, bus lines, and similar options, there really isn’t any excuse for drunk driving.

In our previous blog post, we discussed the case of the survivor of a truck accident who was awarded $15 million.
