Re: automobile accident

If you had actual knowledge that the driver of the car in which you were a passenger was intoxicated, one could raise the defense that you were contributory negligent in any injuries you suffered.

However, that defense typically is not very strong and proves unsuccessful.

My office handles a wide variety of personal injury matters. If you would like to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case contact my office to set an appointment.
