A Lawrenceville mother of two was struck and killed by a drunk driver on Monday, according to news reports. The woman had stepped to the curb and was attempting to signal to the driver to slow down, when he swerved and hit her. The intoxicated driver has been charged with vehicular manslaughter and DUI. Tragic incidents such as these often give rise to public outrage. When a drunk driver causes injury or death to someone you love, an Atlanta personal injury attorney can help you seek justice for your loss.
Often drunk drivers who cause injury or death to others on the road are uninsured or underinsured and have no assets to cover the cost of medical bills, time missed from work, or other damages caused by their irresponsible conduct. In these cases, it may be possible to seek compensation from the bar, restaurant, or social host that overserved the driver. An experienced Atlanta accident lawyer can help you seek compensation from the person or business that served alcohol to the drunk driver under Georgia’s “dram shop” acts.
