DWI Related Accidents that Cause Injuries
Despite public awareness and education programs and a decrease in fatal drunk driving accidents, statistics show that drunk driving accidents continue to take the lives of innocent passengers, drivers, pedestrians, and bicycle and motorcycle riders. Drivers who make the decision to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol put themselves, their passengers, and everyone on the road at risk. Unfortunately, the drunk driving accident attorneys at DeMent Askew have seen far too many innocent people hurt or killed in these types of accidents, and we work hard to ensure they or their loved ones get the compensation they need from the parties responsible for their injuries.
