Drunk Driving Accidents in Kennesaw and Acworth

Hello, I’m Roger Ghai and I wanted to talk to you today a little bit about drunk driving accidents. These accidents are a little bit different from the normal ordinary negligence or carelessness case. They’re different because, in addition to recovering your general damages of lost wages, pain and suffering and your medical expenses, you also probably are going to be entitled to recover punitive damages. The purpose of the punitive damages is simply to deter the drunk driver from ever doing this again.
What if the drunk driver left a party and caused the accident. Can I sue the party host or business? Drunk driving accidents are also a little bit different because you might also be able to sue an establishment, such as a bar or even a homeowner who has hosted a party and let someone drive away who’s had too much to drink. What if the drunk driver has caused an accident before? Another little wrinkle in these drunk driving cases is the defendant’s driving history. Many times we have to file a lawsuit to discover whether the drunk driver has done this before.
