If an intoxicated driver injured you or a family member, you could have the basis of a personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit. Our College Park DUI car accident lawyer will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the cause of your accident. We will identify the at-fault driver, provide documentation of the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level, and build a strong case for financial compensation.
At Kaine Law, our personal injury team will gather, organize, and submit your evidence. We will craft a demand letter along with your evidence file and negotiate on your behalf. The damages we recover for you include all accident-related medical care, loss of income, and more. We will also clarify the relevant statute of limitations to ensure you do not run out of time to seek compensation via a financial settlement or a court case.
What You Need to Know About Building Your Case
The physical and psychological trauma you experience after an unexpected crash can take a long time to recover from. The state, though, only allots a limited time to seek compensation. In addition to ensuring the filing deadline is met, we take several other steps to build an effective case for you.

You Have a Limited Time to Take Legal Action
Like all civil lawsuits, your DUI car accident case is time-sensitive. In Georgia, you generally have two years to meet the personal injury statute of limitations, according to O.C.G.A § 9-3-33. You have even less time — six months — to file a potential lawsuit against a government or municipal agency, according to O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5.
If you fail to meet the state’s filing deadline:
- The court system will not allow you to file your lawsuit
- The at-fault party’s insurer will request an immediate dismissal of your case
Either of these consequences will mean you cannot compel compensation from the at-fault driver. It will also mean the financial consequences of the accident fall on you and your family.
In addition, the statute of limitations can be changed by several factors. The best way to ensure it is correctly interpreted and applied in your case is to let one of our personal injury team members manage it on your behalf.

You Can Recover Two Types of Damages
A car accident caused by a DUI can entitle you to collect economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are typically easier to calculate because they generate bills, estimates, receipts, etc.
Non-economic damages can be more of a challenge on your own. Our car accident lawyers will explain how we assign a value to these intangible damages and how we identify which damages fit into each category.
The economic damages you can recover include:
- Ongoing medical bills
- Ongoing income loss
- Property damage or loss
- Diminished car value
The non-economic damages you can recover include:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional angst
- Disabilities and disfigurement
- Diminished quality of life
When our law firm handles your case, we will assess your damages and their financial value before we start negotiating on your behalf. We will also clarify the value of your non-economic damages and explain how we reached that number.
