Your Rights as a Victim of a Drunk Driving Accident in Atlanta
As a victim of a drunk driving accident, you have the right to seek compensation for your damages. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Unfortunately, even though you may have a claim, the burden falls on you to prove the other driver was negligent and that they caused the crash. Meanwhile, the insurance company will try to scramble out of liability any way they can. At The Schermerhorn Firm, we are committed to holding the responsible party accountable for their actions and ensuring that you are fairly compensated for the harm they have caused. We take the time to prove the other driver’s fault and document the full extent of your injury and legal damages. You can count on The Schermerhorn Firm for:

Taking Legal Action After a Drunk Driving Accident
If you’ve been hit by a drunk driver, it’s crucial to take immediate action to protect your rights. Here are some important steps to take:
-
Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Even if you aren’t treated at the scene of the crash or taken to a hospital, it’s important to get checked by a medical professional as soon as you can, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent but could still be serious.
-
Report the Accident: Contact the police at the time of the crash if you are able. If the police come to the scene, they can gather evidence of the other driver’s intoxication, which can be a significant factor in moving your case forward to a successful conclusion.
