ny accident victims will experience extreme physical and phycological damages to those injured in a drunk driving crash. In my 20 years as a personal injury attorney, I have represented numerous victims of drunk driving. The accidents have left my clients with severe physical injuries, often requiring surgery. Unfortunately, another type of injury is associated with these and similar crashes. Numerous clients report that they are suffering from psychological injuries, such as flashbacks of the accident or anxiety and fear of riding in cars because they are worried that they will get hit again.
