Why this case matters
DUI Accident Lawyer cases in Decatur.
Drunk and impaired drivers cause some of the most devastating crashes on Georgia’s roads. Beyond the criminal charges they face, drunk drivers and the bars or restaurants that overserved them can be held civilly liable for every dollar of harm they caused.
Located just east of Atlanta, Decatur is home to our Georgia office. The city sees significant traffic along E. Ponce de Leon Avenue, N. Decatur Road, and the I-285/US-78 interchange. Pedestrian accidents are also common in the walkable downtown square area.
“DUI crashes are the rare personal injury case where punitive damages are routinely awarded. Georgia juries punish drunk drivers — and we know how to build a case that asks for everything you’re owed, plus the punitive verdict that sends a message.”
