VALDOSTA DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT LAWYERS
Fighting For Those Who Have Been Injured By Drunk Drivers in Georgia
A car accident caused by an individual who is drinking and driving is not an accident—it is negligence. It is a preventable tragedy.
While the criminal court system can punish the drunk driver who caused the car crash, it does nothing to compensate those injured by the DUI driver, or the families who have lost loved ones. We all know the innocent party is usually the one with the worst injuries—not the drunk driver.
At Studstill Firm, LLP, we're ready to help DUI victims take action in the wake of these incidents and seek compensation for their injuries—regardless of any verdict in criminal court.
Over the last 35+ years, our firm has stood with the injured, the wronged, and the bereaved and has recovered millions in relief on their behalf. We're ready to assess your case and take incisive, assertive steps towards holding those responsible for your injury accountable.
We're ready to help you take action. Call us today at (229) 515-8900 to request a free, no-obligation case evaluation with our team.
What Damages Could Be Pursued in a Drunk Driving Accident Claim?
As the victim of a drunk driving accident, or the relative of a loved one who has been killed by a drunk driver, you have the right to hold the drunk driver accountable for the injuries or death that their negligence and carelessness caused.
Our experienced Valdosta drunk driving accident attorneys can pursue a drunk driving accident claim and obtain financial compensation for numerous damages.
A DUI accident claim can address:
- Personal injuries (which may include spinal cord injury, neck injury and whiplash, brain injury, burns, amputation, blindness, and permanent disability)
- Wrongful death
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
Maximizing Your Claim with Punitive Damages
If the drunk driver who caused the crash was legally intoxicated, Georgia law provides for an award of punitive damages to the injury victim. Punitive damage significantly increases the compensation victims of a drunk driver receive.
These types of damages are designed to financially punish the drunk driver who caused the collision and to discourage others from driving under the influence of drugs or driving while intoxicated.
GEORGIA DRAM SHOP LIABILITY
Under the Georgia Dram Shop Act, a drunk driver may not be the only one who can be held legally responsible for a car accident they cause.
State law says that a person who sells, furnishes, or serves alcoholic beverages to someone who is visibly intoxicated may be liable for the injuries and damages that occur as a result of the intoxicated person’s actions. This would include convenience stores, restaurants, golf courses, bars, and even homeowners.

Well, the recovery of my life started the day I first spoke with Haynes. It's been a long road but I've always felt that Studstill Firm was who I needed. I was praying to God for help in a bad situation following the accident and I know He lead me to the Studstill Firm. Haynes, Dan, Loretta, Jennifer and the entire staff have been supportive, professional, caring and understanding through this. I feel comfortable and an equal when speaking to anyone in the office. I feel confident in knowing my best interest is represented by the Studstill Firm.- Alex
Thank You Haynes and Dan, thank you to everyone that make the most Awesome team

I have used the Studstill Firm on two separate occasions. They returned emails and phone calls immediately and go the extra step to “personally” care for their customers. I have been impressed with their service both times I used them and highly recommend them.- Cathy

Unexpectedly, I found myself in need of consulting with a law firm specializing in personal injury cases. While shopping in a certain beloved grocery store, which shall remain nameless, I had an accident. A banana of all things was my downfall. Being that I did not place the banana in question on the floor of the grocery store, it was my assumption I had a case for the injuries I sustained due to this slip & fall. Which was more like a slip & crash backwards because I surely took the banana display down with me. After leaving the hospital, I called 411 pain mostly because the radio keeps telling me to. This was all I could think to do, but they were not helpful & in fact, I felt very overwhelmed. So I turned to Google & searched for law firms. Studstill law firm caught my attention & I gave them a call. I was told to talk with Jennifer who could answer my questions. I must say, I really appreciate her patience & understanding because I do tend to ramble on a bit. She was professional & kind, never made me feel rushed. She did not even laugh when I told her what happened. I appreciate this because even the doctors & nurses at the hospital laughed at the cause of my injury. Thank you Jennifer & Studstill lawfirm for helping me through this process.- Joseph

After being injured on the job…I became worried of loosing my job and being the sole income in our home, my wife and I were going through a mini hell on earth for what we were going to do. My wife, THANK GOD, found the Studstill Firm and from the first meeting, we were treated with dignity and grace. They were quick to take charge and responded to our every need. We found their staff and associates to be the most professional, caring, group of people we or anyone in need could have by your side. My wife and I HIGHLY recommend the Studstill Firm and they will always be on our speed dial. Thank you Mrs. Studstill for being there for us.- Larry
