DUI & Drug Related Accidents Archives

Anyone who is operating a motorized vehicle can get a DUI-type offense. This includes not only the use of cars, trucks and motorcycles, but also motorized watercraft, lawnmowers, mopeds, and even non-motorized bicycles. It is well known that driving drunk or drugged substantially increases a driver’s chances of causing a serious accident. Alchohol and drug related accidents can cause wrongful death or very serious injuries, such as brain damage, amputation injuries, paralysis and severe burns.

We are very passionate about spreading awareness of the impacts of impaired driving at Scholle Law. Our founder Charles Scholle, has even served as an Advisory Board Member of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and their statistics indicate that about 27% of Georgia’s fatal traffic accidents in recent years involved drunk drivers. This is a heartbreaking statisitc for Georgia residents. We hope that our blog can act as a resource for those wanting to learn more about DUI related accidents and keep themselves up-to-date on the latest laws in Georgia that are helping compensate those who have been injured in a DUI or drug related accident.
