The state of Georgia takes drunk driving and any resulting accidents seriously. In addition to any legal recriminations, the state also allows injured parties to recover the costs of the accident from the at-fault driver or their insurance provider. At Kaine Law, our Buford personal injury lawyer is committed to helping you fight for compensation.
When we handle your case, our law firm proves alcohol or drug involvement caused the accident. We also collect and organize evidence of the accident’s costs and ensure your case is filed with the applicable statute of limitations. Damages we fight to recover for you include medical care, loss of wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Economic and Non-Economic Recoverable Damages in Your DUI Case
The financial aftermath of a car accident can be extensive and ongoing. When our personal injury lawyer helps you seek recovery after an accident, we pursue the following damages:
- Past, current, and future medical bills
- Past, current, and future lost wages
- Ongoing physical pain and suffering
- Ongoing mental and emotional stress
- Property damage or total destruction
Intoxicated drivers can leave a trail of injuries and fatalities in the aftermath of an accident. According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics, 3,241 people were fatally injured in drunk driving accidents in Georgia between 2009 and 2018.
If your family lost a loved one in a DUI accident, we also help your family recover wrongful death damages. These can include funeral and burial expenses, loss of your loved one’s financial contributions, and ongoing pain and suffering.
Our Lawyers Ensure Compliance With Georgia’s Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations defines how much time you have to file a civil lawsuit in the state. If you or someone you love was injured in a DUI accident, O.C.G.A § 9-3-33 generally gives you two years to file your personal injury lawsuit. The statutory clock starts running on the date of the accident.
The same statute gives you up to two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit if someone you love was fatally injured in the collision. In wrongful death cases, the statutory clock starts running on the date of demise. Because various factors can cause the statute of limitations to fluctuate, the best way to ensure compliance is to let our DUI lawyers handle it for you.
