If you are going to drink and drive then you should consider the following. Drunk driving or driving while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance is against the law. Tennessee law will not permit a criminal to profit from his criminal act. Insurance companies have a clause in most automobile insurance policies that prohibit an insured from receiving a judgment or money for injur…ies that occurred in an automobile accident caused by drunk driving. A drunk driving exclusion is often a separate term in the policy or drunk driving could be excluded under the policy’s crime exclusion. Our firm recently recovered for a lady who was hit by a millionaire driving drunk and her settlement was 7 times her medical bills. Having it on a red light camera video helped as well. Next time you drink and drive you should consider the consequences.
Drinking and driving does pay: You will pay for it !
