Common Questions (FAQ) about DUI Accident Cases in College Park, GA

Who can be held liable for a DUI accident in College Park, Georgia?

The driver who is at-fault is generally held liable for the damages resulting from an accident. If the driver is also found to be under the influence and impaired by drugs or alcohol, will enable your car accident lawyer to ask for higher compensation.

It is also possible that others may be held responsible. For example, if the other driver was over-served alcohol at a bar or restaurant, that establishment may also be held liable.

What should you do if you suspect the driver who hit you is drunk or high on drugs?

As with any accident, if you are able to do so, get to a safe location, turn on your emergency hazard lights, check for any injuries you or your passengers or any other involved drivers have, and call the police. Have law enforcement come to the scene and document the accident. Tell the investigating officer of your suspicions. Report any suspicious behavior like the other driver throwing debris or bottles out of his or her car. Take pictures and record the condition of the vehicles and any other evidence that you observe.

We also recommend seeking medical attention right away if you were hurt and notifying your insurance company. Under most policies you must report any accident you are involved in, even if not your fault, or you risk losing your coverage.
