Drunk Driving Accidents in Atlanta, GA

More than 10,000 lives are lost in the U.S. every year due to drunk driving accidents. The impact of this number doesn’t truly sink in, however, until you or a family member is catastrophically injured by a drunk driving accident. For these families, these accidents cause pain in a way that can’t be put into words.

At Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers, we empathize with that pain. We do everything in our power to help drunk driving accident victims collect the money they deserve. After you or a loved one is injured in a drunk driving accident in Georgia, contact our law firm as soon as possible for a free consultation.

Serious Drunk Driving Accident Injuries

One reason that drunk driving accidents are so deadly is that drunk drivers rarely do anything to minimize the consequences of an accident. In a situation where a sober driver might swerve or hit the brakes, a drunk driver often does nothing.

This frequently results in catastrophic injuries. And even if you survive the accident, you may spend weeks or months in the hospital. Severe injuries from a drunk driving accident include:

  • Broken or shattered bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Dismemberment or required amputation
  • Internal bleeding
  • Organ damage
  • Paralysis or nerve injuries
  • Permanent scarring

These injuries don’t just take weeks, months, or even years to recover from. They are also very painful and cause extreme emotional and mental trauma.

Dealing With the Insurance Company After an Accident

Drivers are trained to contact their insurance company immediately after an accident. And that is probably what you would expect to do after a drunk driving accident. But it is better to contact a lawyer first after a catastrophic injury.

You will need hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, to fully recover from your injuries. The insurance company is unlikely to pay anything close to that if you don’t have legal representation.

Consult with one of our attorneys, and let us deal with the insurance companies involved. Then, if the insurance company contacts you directly, you can refer them to our team.

The Importance of Seeking Medical Care

Medical care in the U.S. can be very expensive. Just one night in the hospital can cost over $10,000. This often makes people hesitant to accept medical care. You can’t afford this hesitancy after a drunk driving accident.

You should agree to every test and any type of treatment your doctors recommend. When you refuse medical care after a catastrophic injury, the insurance company can use that as evidence that you weren’t injured as badly as you are claiming. And that means it can get away with paying you less compensation.

Our law firm will fight to get you every dollar you deserve. Don’t hurt your case and your ability to get full compensation by refusing medical care.

Compensation in a Drunk Driving Accident

One of the most common questions we get from potential clients is, “What type of compensation can I get from a drunk driving accident?”

There are two types of compensation we can typically obtain for you. The first type is economic damages. This is compensation for all of the out-of-pocket expenses and losses you have already suffered or will suffer. This includes:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Services you need to pay for while injured, like child care or transportation
  • Physical, mental, or occupational therapy
