Here\u2019s What to Do"},"content":{"rendered":"\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, hundreds of people die in drunk driving accidents in Alabama, and a shocking number of them happen over the holidays. Over the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year\u2019s holidays in 2018, 27 people died due to drunk driving. That means that over a short, 13-day period, we suffered 14% of our state\u2019s drunk driving deaths.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These deaths are senseless and preventable. In this blog, we\u2019ll outline steps you can take to protect yourself from drunk driving accidents and the steps you can take if you or someone you love is involved in a crash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drive Sober During the Holidays<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Alabama, driving drunk during the holidays is all too common. STATS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While defensive driving can\u2019t prevent every crash, we encourage people to drive sober and stay on the lookout for drunk drivers. If you see someone driving their vehicle erratically, speeding, swerving, or going the wrong way down the road, call 911 immediately. Your prompt action could save lives.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a drunk driver injures you or someone you love, you need to act quickly to protect yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/did-a-drunk-or-drugged-driver-cause-your-crash-heres-what-you-need-to-know\/\"><strong>Did a Drunk or Drugged Driver Cause Your Crash? Here\u2019s What You Need to Know<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hurt in a Crash With a Drunk Driver? Here\u2019s What to Do Next<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The immediate aftermath of an accident can be terrifying for anyone involved. Despite the uncertainty, there are a few steps you can take to protect yourself, your family, and your case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Call 911, and make sure you tell the operator about everyone\u2019s injuries and that you suspect drunk driving played a role in the accident. Police and toxicology reports will play an important role in your injury claim.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Take photos of the crash scene if you can, including the damaged cars, the road, and your injuries.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>If there were witnesses and you are able, take down their contact information. Their testimony could help your case later.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Get medical treatment, even if you think you only have minor injuries. What might seem like mild aches and pains could be early signs of a serious condition. Getting checked out by a medical professional is one way to avoid unnecessary pain, suffering, and cost down the road.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Write down everything you can remember from the accident. These memories will fade over time. Writing everything down will help preserve your version of events.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/ebooks\/recovering-from-a-traumatic-injury-youre-not-alone\/\">pain log<\/a> if you\u2019re injured. If you can\u2019t work, need help around the house, or don\u2019t get as much joy out of life, write it down. This journal will help the insurance company and your lawyer understand what you\u2019re going through.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to these steps, contacting a <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/practice-area\/mobile\/car-accident-lawyers\/\" data-type=\"pmp_practice_area\" data-id=\"20525\">Mobile-based car crash lawyer<\/a> should be on your list of things to do after a crash. They can help you make sense of what happened, fight for your right to fair compensation, handle the paperwork, and make sure you have what you need to heal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when you work with an attorney from Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys, you can be sure you\u2019re getting the highest level of representation. We have handled many drunk driving crash cases, are skilled at preserving vital evidence, and holding responsible parties accountable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drunk Driving Cases Are Unique. That\u2019s Why You Need a Skilled Attorney on Your Side<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, drunk driving cases are uniquely challenging. There are often multiple sources of negligence, meaning more than one person or party can be held accountable for your injuries and suffering. This includes bars and restaurants that knowingly over-serve their customers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drunk driver might also owe you punitive damages. Juries award these damages to punish a wrongdoer, rather than to compensate you for your losses. While punitive damages are relatively rare in personal injury claims, they are often awarded in severe drunk driving cases.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Andy Citrin team has years of experience uncovering all the sources of negligence and holding the accountable parties responsible. For example, Ashley came to us after getting struck by a drunk driver while riding his motorcycle. The drunk driver fled the scene, but after tracking them down, we learned that they\u2019d been over-served at two bars before nearly killing Ashley. Through tenacious representation and aggressive tactics, we got Ashley the settlement he deserved.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/client-stories\/ashleys-story-injured-motorcyclist-get-results-with-aggressive-representation\/\"><strong>Ashley\u2019s Story: Motorcyclist Gets Results With Aggressive Representation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hurt in a Crash With a Drunk Driver?
