Alcohol and truck wrecks - Explained in detail
Alcohol is a major factor in motor accidents. Based on data from the Federal Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there is an alcohol-related traffic fatality every 40 minutes. An drunk motorist puts everyone on the road at risk. DUI can cause accidents. When a person decides to drive after he’s been drinking, he is engaging in a reckless and criminal act.
If you have been hurt by an accident caused by an intoxicated motorist, you can demand compensation for your injuries under personal injury laws. A personal injury case can be brought against the intoxicated driver who caused the accident and monetary compensation can be sought. Typically there is no set amount of damages the injured person can seek from the intoxicated driver and the insurer. Under Georgia law, actions for injuries to the person should be instituted within 2 years after the right of action accrues. Injuries to the person resulting in loss of consortium must be filed within 4 years after the accrual of the right of action.
