Who Is Responsible for Your Drunk Driving Accident?

Of course, the primary person responsible for the accident is the drunk driver. However, few drunk drivers get drunk at home alone and then venture out on a whim. In most cases, drunk drivers are facilitated by numerous people who could have prevented or discouraged the driver from getting behind the wheel. These may include:

Bars, restaurants, and clubs that serve visibly intoxicated drivers
Bars, restaurants, and clubs that serve underage drinkers
Sober companions or passengers that allowed an intoxicated person to drive
Insurance companies that continue to insure a driver with a record of multiple DUIs
Commercial companies that hire or maintain drivers with a history of DUIs

If you have been hurt in a drunk driving accident in Atlanta or anywhere in Georgia, holding all involved parties responsible not only ensures that you receive just compensation for your loss, it also encourages others to do everything possible to keep drunk drivers off the road in the future.
