DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENTS ATTORNEY IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

Pursuing Compensation from Negligent Drivers

Someone who causes an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol is negligent. The authorities will hold that driver responsible for the injuries and damage that occurred. Unfortunately, that does not mean getting the financial help you need is easy.

Many drunk drivers are repeat offenders and may not have a valid license or insurance. This can make it very difficult to receive full compensation. However, drunk driving may involve liability from other parties as well.

A court can find a restaurant or bar liable if they served alcohol to someone who:

• Lacked motor skills

• Had bloodshot eyes

• Slurred their speech

• Was stumbling

• Smelled strongly of alcohol

Third-party liability can be difficult and requires a skilled Savannah car accident attorney. Eugene “Gene” C. Brooks has 35 years of experience in finding witnesses, helping them understand their role in a case, and interviewing them effectively. We can paint a picture of what happened and show who was negligent in the accident.
