Atlanta Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
Drunk driving is one of the most devastating causes of accidents on our roads. It shatters lives and forever alters families. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 32% of all auto accident fatalities in the U.S. involve drunk drivers. These drivers react more slowly, make poor decisions, and put everyone around them at risk.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a drunk driver, it’s not just a statistic—it’s a traumatic, life-altering experience. You deserve justice, and an experienced Atlanta drunk driving accident lawyer can help you pursue it.
Trusted Legal Experience in Drunk Driving Cases
At Jackson Injury Law, we have extensive experience handling cases involving intoxicated drivers. Founding attorney Chris Jackson’s background as a former public defender gives him deep insight into how drunk driving investigations work. This unique perspective allows us to build stronger cases and hold reckless drivers accountable for the harm they cause.
Investigation
Drunk driving investigations are unique, because special types of evidence that aren’t present in other cases may exist. Police may have 911 calls, bodycam footage, field sobriety test results, breathalyzer results, and other materials to build the case against the person who injured you. Jackson Injury Law can use legal processes to get this evidence, and they can also obtain witness statements, videos, photographs, and anything else that will strengthen your claim against a drunk driver for maximum compensation.
Legal Guidance
We will educate you about your rights to recover against a drunk driver. You have special legal rights if you have been injured by a drunk driver, because drunk drivers are subject to unlimited punitive damages, which are intended to punish the driver instead of simply compensate you for your injuries. Drunk driving is a hot-button social issue a skilled attorney can use to create significant leverage during negotiations or at trial.
Negotiations
We will use whatever we find during our advanced investigations to set your case up for maximum compensation. We will apply our extensive knowledge and experience in drunk driving cases and apply it to the unique facts of your individual case, and we will use the full extent of the law to show the insurance company how risky it would be to deny you maximum compensation and allow your case to go to trial.
Litigation
If the insurance company refuses to treat you fairly without a lawsuit, we will file suit and make them regret their decision. If we file suit, we’ll use our discovery power to find out even more about the defendant’s history of drunk driving, and we’ll find out more about their behavior on the day of the accident to create further leverage at trial.
