Deadly Drunk Driving Accident With a Prior DWI
A California woman who was driving the wrong way on the highway was under the influence of alcohol when she killed six people in a drunk driving accident. Perhaps the most shocking part of the story is the fact that she had been caught driving intoxicated before. In fact, she had just had the restrictions on her license lifted the week before. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to hear about accidents caused by drunk drivers. These are often fatal or leave victims with serious, life altering injuries. You may assume that people who cause these accidents or who were caught driving under the influence are held responsible for their actions, but it is shocking how lightly they can get off at times. This is why having an Arlington lawyer like David S. Kohm can make a huge difference when you are a victim of a drunk driving accident.
Having a Lawyer on Your Side
Your lawyer understands how devastating being in a drunk driving accident can be. You may need help paying your medical bills, or may be looking for justice for a loved one who was killed. David S. Kohm can help you get compensated and can dramatically increase the likelihood that the proper punishment is enforced. Don’t try to handle this on your own. Not only does this add a great deal of emotional and mental stress, it also means that you likely won’t get the same result as if you had a lawyer by your side.
