If you have been involved in an accident and suspect the driver is impaired, take note of everything you observe, including:
The driver smelling of alcohol
The driver slurring his/her words
Alcohol or drugs visible in the driver’s vehicle
Damage to your vehicle
Injuries incurred from the accident
Contact law enforcement and receive medical attention immediately after the vehicle accident. Law enforcement officials will perform tests on the driver to determine if his/her blood alcohol concentration was above the legal limit. You will also receive a detailed report of any injuries sustained from the accident. Personal injury attorney James J. Gutbrod will use this report to bring a claim against those responsible for your injuries.
