Alcohol is a major factor in traffic accidents. Based on data from the United States Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there is an alcohol-impaired traffic fatality every 40 minutes. An intoxicated driver puts everyone on the road at risk. Drunk driving can result in accidents. When a person makes the decision to get behind the wheel after he’s been drinking, he is engaging in a reckless and criminal act. If you have been injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, you can seek compensation for your injuries under personal injury laws. A personal injury lawsuit can be brought against the drunk driver who caused the accident and monetary compensation can be pursued. Generally there is no set amount of damages the injured person can claim from the drunk driver and their insurance company. In Georgia, most actions for injuries to the person must be brought within two years after the right of action accrues. Injuries to the person involving loss of consortium must be brought within four years after the right of action accrues.
