My Accident was Caused by a Drunk Driver and I Need an Experienced Attorney
Drinking and driving is a problem that has caused growing concern in recent years. Using drugs or drinking alcohol before driving a car is a dangerous game, because these substances impair judgment, slow reaction time, decrease coordination and weaken the senses. If someone gets behind the wheel of a two-ton machine after indulging in alcohol, he or she puts herself and everyone else on the road at risk of a serious or fatal car accident.
Never drink and drive; always call a taxi or a friend. If you drive while intoxicated, you could seriously injure or kill yourself or someone else.
If an intoxicated driver caused your accident, it is important to contact a Washington, D.C., Virginia or Maryland injury attorney who can assist you in recovering compensation for any injuries sustained as a result of the accident.
