When a person leaves a bar after enjoying many cocktails, gets into his car, and hurts (or kills) another person in a drunk driving accident, who should be held liable? In some states, the establishment that continuously sold alcohol to an apparently drunk individual could be a responsible party in terms of liability. These are called dram shop laws, and the penalties and liabilities differ from state to state.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is incredibly difficult. As any Macon wrongful death lawyer can attest, that loss is made even worse for families when the death was a result of negligence. Such wrongful death tragedies are devastating emotionally and, in many cases, financially.
Traffic Violations
Car accidents: Because of the high number of cars on the road, vehicular accidents are very common. If you were in a car accident and the other driver acted negligently, you should be compensated for your injuries. Negligent behavior can include speeding, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, going through a red light, and tailgating.
Assault
Hit and Run
Whether you can recover anything for your losses following a hit-and-run will depend on whether you have purchased uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM coverage). If so, then you may be able to file a claim through your own insurance policy. UM coverage generally includes benefits for hit-and-run accidents.
