Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) May 21, 2013 – Some drunk drivers just do not “get” it. The one in this case certainly did not. “Some drunk drivers realize the error of their ways, and do something constructive about it. Others, like the one in this case, find more and more creative ways to keep on drinking and driving, and the consequences be darned,” said Austin personal injury attorney Bobby Lee, of Lee, Gober and Reyna in Austin, Texas. “If you can believe this, a 45-year-old man with a prior conviction for DWI, jiggered with his vehicle ignition device, designed [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) March 21 , 2013 – Many American families are all too familiar with what happens when someone drives drunk. Many have lost loved ones to a drunken driver. “Drinking and driving still seems to be a national pastime,” stated Austin personal injury attorney Bobby Lee, of Lee, Gober and Reyna in Austin, Texas. “No matter how much coverage a death by drunken driver gets, how many educational campaigns are launched, people still drive while under the influence. And, not only that, but they also still choose to ride with a drunk driver; often a serious [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) March 6 , 2013 – Underage drinking and driving is popular, but comes with significant consequences. The victim in this case was severely injured in a rollover accident. “It’s stunning the number of people who choose to get into a car when the driver is obviously drunk. More often than not, it is the social pressure of shunning a ride from a so called ‘friend’ that makes the person hop in. This is one of the worst decisions someone could possibly make,” added Austin personal injury attorney Bobby Lee, of Lee, Gober and Reyna in [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) January 8 , 2013 – Two drunken drivers caused the death of a young mother. “You don’t see this happen often, two drunken drivers, almost behind one another on the road, both causing accidents within minutes.

It appeared that no one was hurt, so she climbed out of the car to check on the people in the other vehicle. She was hit and killed instantly by a second drunk driver,” explained [...]

Brunswick, GA (Law Firm Newswire) December 13, 2012 – The upcoming holiday season means more sobriety checkpoints throughout Georgia. According to Spencer Moore, the Deputy Director for the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, roadblocks have become an essential part of Georgia’s highway safety program. Moore stated that checkpoints have been an effective tool to deter impaired drivers and to raise public awareness. Officers are using the roadblocks to stop and apprehend drivers they believe are driving inebriated. The National Motorists Association contests the use of roadblocks, arguing that many roadblocks constitute unlawful search and seizure and violate the Constitution’s [...]

Brunswick, GA (Law Firm Newswire) December 4, 2012 – A new study by Swiss researchers looked at college-age “front-loading” or “pre-drinking:” the act of having a drink or two before heading out for the evening. The study, which included analysis of the behavior of more than 250 students over the course of five weeks, found that the college-aged individuals who participated in pre-drinking were far more likely to later drive under the influence of alcohol (DUI), experience blackouts, and use drugs. Researchers also stated that when the students consumed alcoholic beverages prior to going to the planned event, they tended [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) October 11, 2012 – Drinking and driving a car is illegal. Drinking and driving a motorcycle is as well. “This case really gets under your skin, because the man who killed his motorcycle passenger should have known better. He was a former Sheriff’s deputy, with 15 years of service, and was out hooting it up on his ride, while DUI, lost control, went into a slide and dumped his passenger. She sustained severe head and neck trauma, and died the next day,” explained Bobby Lee, an Austin personal injury attorney of Lee, Gober and Reyna [...]

If the time to file has expired, there is no cause of action allowed. “This is an interesting case for several reasons, but most importantly, it serves to point out that time is of the essence when filing a lawsuit, even in a drunk driving case. In this instance, this lawsuit was filed within a few days of the final deadline for filing,” explained Bobby Lee, an Austin personal injury attorney of The Lee Law Firm in Austin, [...]

And yet, hundreds still do the unthinkable; drink, drive and kill. “This case really bothered me when I read it,” explained Charlie Donahue, a Manchester injury and medical malpractice lawyer with offices in Keene, New Hampshire. “ Largely because an 11-year-old girl was killed and four others badly injured when a drunk driver blew a red light.” The two vehicles involved in this catastrophic wreck, met in the middle of an intersection, sending one of them, an [...]

Keene, NH (Law Firm Newswire) April 24, 2012 – Drunk drivers never think anything will happen to them. Often they are not injured in a wreck, but the other driver is seriously maimed or killed. “This case makes me want to ask if anyone can spell m-o-r-o-n. Because of a drunk driver who thought he was invincible, smart and macho, two people were seriously hurt. One may be in the hospital for months trying to battle his way back to some semblance of normalcy. The man in the hospital is a well known basketball coach and his injuries, ranging from [...]
