Huntsville, AL car accident attorney Morris Lilienthal represented our client who was severely injured in a car wreck with a drunk driver. The crash occurred at 2:00 am in April of 2010 when the intoxicated driver came over the center line striking our client's car head-on. As a result of this wreck our client suffered numerous fractures to both his lower legs requiring him to undergo surgery to correct these injuries. We are pleased that we were able to reach a pre-litigation policy limits settlement with both the drunk drivers insurance company and our client's insurance company (uninsured - underinsured motorist carrier). This case is a prime example of why it's important to carry a sufficient amount of uninsured-underinsured motorist coverage. As is often the case, the at fault party does not have sufficient insurance coverage to fully compensate the plaintiff for his/her injuries.
This case is also an example of the dangers of drinking and driving. As evidenced by the photograph of our client's vehicle, he is lucky to be alive. Please don't drink and drive as you are not only putting your life at risk but the lives of other innocent drivers.
