What Should You Do After a Drunk Driving Accident?
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even injuries that seem minor at first can worsen over time.
Report the Collision to Law Enforcement
DUI investigations and police documentation may become important evidence later.
Preserve Evidence
Photographs, witness information, medical records, and crash documentation can help support your claim.
Avoid Detailed Insurance Statements
Insurance companies may attempt to minimize liability or pressure injured individuals into early settlements.
Follow Medical Recommendations
Continued treatment and follow-up care may be important for both your health and your claim.
Speak With an Attorney Before Accepting a Settlement
Serious drunk driving accidents often involve damages that extend far beyond immediate medical expenses.

Compensation may reflect emergency care, surgeries, hospitalization, and ongoing treatment required after a serious drunk driving collision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Georgia Drunk Driving Accident Claims
What if the drunk driver was arrested?
Criminal charges do not automatically provide compensation for injured victims. A separate civil claim may still be necessary to recover damages related to medical expenses, lost income, and long-term harm.
Can a bar or restaurant also be responsible for a drunk driving accident?
Possibly. Under certain circumstances, Georgia dram shop laws may allow claims against establishments or individuals who irresponsibly served alcohol to an impaired person.
What compensation may be available after a drunk driving accident?
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, future care needs, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages.
What if the insurance company already contacted me?
Insurance companies may attempt to limit payouts or pressure injured individuals into early settlements before the full extent of injuries is known.
How much does it cost to hire a drunk driving accident lawyer?
Zinns Law offers free consultations and handles injury claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning attorney’s fees are only collected if compensation is recovered.
What if my injuries became worse after the accident?
Some serious injuries take time to fully appear. Continued pain, neurological symptoms, mobility issues, or worsening medical complications should be evaluated promptly.
Can I still pursue a claim if the drunk driver was uninsured?
Possibly. Other insurance coverage may apply depending on the circumstances, including uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
