About DUI Accident Lawyer
intro

Why you need a DUI Accident Lawyer, Not a General Injury Firm

A DUI crash is not an ordinary car wreck. The driver who hit you made a choice before they turned the key, and Georgia law treats that choice very differently from a simple mistake.

That choice changes who you can sue, how much you can recover, and how hard the insurance company will fight. It’s why you need a drunk driving accident attorney who does this work every day, not a firm that handles one drunk driving case a year.

Suing impaired drivers is our entire practice. We represent injured victims and grieving families across Georgia.

Georgia DUI Accident Lawyer Who only Represents Victims

Many firms that rank for "DUI lawyer" defend drunk drivers in criminal court. We don't, and we never will. A DUI victim lawyer should have one loyalty, and ours is to you. Every case on our desk is a person who was hurt by someone else's impairment.

When you call our DUI accident lawyers, you talk to a team that has built its practice around one question: how do we hold this impaired driver, and everyone who helped put them on the road, fully accountable?

No conflicts.

We never sit across from our own past clients. Our loyalty runs one direction: to you.

Depth, not volume.

Georgia's DUI statute, dram shop law and punitive damages rules come up in every file we handle, not once in a while.

We know the defense playbook.

The tactics used in criminal DUI defense, like challenging the stop, the breath test or the blood draw, can show up again in your civil case. We see them coming and prepare for them.

How Our DUI Accident Attorneys Build Your Case

Free review within [time]

We listen, check the police report and tell you honestly whether you have a claim.

Evidence locked down fast

Preservation letters go to bars, employers, trucking companies and insurers before video, receipts and driver logs disappear.

Every responsible party found

The driver, the bar or host, the employer, the vehicle owner and every insurance policy, including your own.

Full value, including punitive damages

We document future care and lost income with experts, and build the punitive damages case from day one.

Ready for trial

Insurers pay fair value when they know a case is ready for a jury. Most cases still settle, but we prepare every one as if it won’t.

For Georgia attorneys: bring us in when the DUI case gets complicated

When a drunk or drugged driving case gets complicated, bring us in. You keep your client relationship, and the client pays one shared fee, not two.

Your DUI Accident Lawsuit Is Separate From the Criminal Case

The criminal case can put the drunk driver in jail, but often times it won’t pay your medical bills or lost wages. Your DUI accident lawsuit is what gets you compensated, and we build it to win even if the criminal charges are reduced or dropped.

How the criminal and civil DUI cases work →

Who else can be held liable for Georgia DUI Accident

The drunk driver is the obvious defendant, but they’re often underinsured and rarely the only one at fault.

Accident claim form on clipboard at crash scene

Bars, restaurants and liquor sellers

Under Georgia’s dram shop law (O.C.G.A. § 51-1-40), a seller who knowingly served a noticeably intoxicated person or someone under 21, knowing they would soon drive, can be liable.

Social hosts

The same law can apply to a party host who kept serving a visibly drunk guest they knew would drive home.

Vehicle owners and employers

An owner who lent a car to someone they knew was impaired, or an employer whose driver was on the job, may share the blame.

Georgia's Uncapped Punitive Damages for Impaired Drivers

In most Georgia injury cases, punitive damages are capped at $250,000. DUI cases are a major exception.

Attorney consulting a client about punitive damages

Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1(f), there’s no cap on punitive damages when the defendant acted while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a toxic substance to the degree that their judgment was substantially impaired.

Compensation for DUI injury victims

No honest lawyer can promise a number before reviewing your case. What we can promise is that we’ll value every category, including the future costs insurers like to ignore.

When a Drunk Driver Takes a Life

Georgia law lets the family bring a wrongful death claim for the full value of the life lost, and the estate can recover medical and funeral costs and pursue punitive damages. No amount of money replaces a person. These claims are about accountability and protecting the family left behind.

How to Choose the Best Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers for Your Case

Ask any firm you’re considering these five questions:

Do you ever defend DUI drivers?

A firm that does may hesitate to attack the same defenses it uses in criminal court.

How many DUI injury cases have you handled?

And what were the results?

Who will actually handle my case?

And how often will I hear from them?

Will you pursue punitive damages?

And are you prepared to go to trial?

Do you investigate bars, employers and owners?

Or only the driver?
We welcome these questions. Our answers: never; [500+] cases and our results; always yes; with updates at every major step.
Client meeting with a DUI accident lawyer about fees

How much does a DUI Accident Lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. We handle DUI injury and wrongful death cases on a contingency fee, which means our fee comes as a percentage of what we recover for you.

If we don’t recover money, you don’t owe an attorney’s fee.

This is not a criminal DUI defense fee. You’re not paying to defend a charge. You’re hiring a DUI victim lawyer to make the person who hurt you pay.
