Media Opportunity: In a World with Uber and Lyft, 28 People a Day Still Die as a Result of Drunk Driving

A report by Bactrack.com released earlier this year cited that every day 28 people pass away as a result of drivers under the influence of alcohol. As those in the media know, every day the headlines inform the masses of the latest arrest as a result of a DUI.

What often goes overlooked when examining the sheer number of deaths caused by impaired drivers is that the numbers for those simply injured by those driving under the influence are even grander. Those who have suffered physical and mental damages as a result of a DUI are entitled, under the rules of the law, to a litany of compensation.

What those who are hurt by a drunk driver may be entitled to compensation for, according to Monge:

· Medical bills;
· Rehabilitation expenses;
· Lost current and future wages;
· Pain and suffering;
· Property damage to the vehicle;
· Rental car reimbursement;
· Costs of assistive devices like wheelchairs or walkers;
· Compensation for scars and disfigurement

In such a stressful time, it’s not always easy to think of seeking out the best representation for legal assistance.�??

Monge continued, “Even before a lawyer is brought into the picture, it’s important that every citizen knows their rights if they were to, unfortunately, be involved in a DUI caused accident.�??

Monge & Associates, located in Atlanta, Georgia, assists clients in recovering from auto accidents, slip-and-fall injuries, pedestrian accidents, workers’ compensation cases and much more.

Scott Monge is available to discuss why the number of drunk driving related injuries remain such a huge issue in America, write a featured piece or speak to the importance of fighting back after suffering a drunk driving injury.
