Experienced And Trusted Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers

Drinking and driving is illegal. Drunk driving can permanently change lives, destroy lives and end lives. Yet every day, people make poor decisions, putting the lives of others on the road at risk. When a car accident is caused by a drunk driver, it is critical to not only recover the compensation the family needs — it is vital to obtain justice.

At the law office of Murphy & Garner, LLC, we understand that no amount of compensation can repay you for the injustice that occurs when a family member is suddenly taken from you. However, the money recovered can pay for medical and funeral expenses and provide ongoing financial support.

Who Is Responsible For Car Accident Injuries Caused By Drunk Drivers?

An inexperienced personal injury lawyer may make mistakes in pursuing financial recovery for injured victims and families of fatal accident victims. However, with comprehensive understanding of the laws in Georgia, we understand the many ways in which we can pursue compensation on behalf of accident victims and their families.

  • The drunk driver: When a driver causes a drunk driving accident that results in injuries or wrongful death, that driver can be held financially responsible in civil court. Additionally, the driver may be subjected to punitive damages — an additional monetary award that is above and beyond the amount you may be entitled for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Punitive damages are awarded to punish, penalize, or deter the wrongdoer.
  • The bar, restaurant or liquor establishment: In Georgia, if a liquor-serving establishment knowingly serves alcohol to an individual who is visibly intoxicated or underage, the establishment can be held financially responsible to the drunk driver victims for accidents that are subsequently caused by the over-served or minor patron.
