If you are about to engage in the civil suit process required by personal injury law in Atlanta to file a claim against the negligent parties responsible for a car accident with a drunk driver, an Atlanta auto wreck attorney may be able to help – but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to help yourself, too.
One of the oft overlooked but incredibly useful assets in a DUI injury claim is the presence of (and testimony by) witnesses. An accident witness can help you make your case to a judge, jury, or insurance company.
In addition to adding credence to your account of the events that transpired, a witness may be able to provide additional evidence that you were not aware of that nevertheless demonstrates the negligence of the drunk driver. Even a witness who didn’t see the accident may be able to confirm your obvious pain and discomfort afterwards.
However, people’s memories fade quickly, so you need to act even more quickly to contact potential witnesses and take their statements before their memories become fuzzy. Witnesses may also move around before you are able to speak with them. Time is of the essence, and your attorney can help you track down the witnesses who are crucial to proving your story.
