Chattanooga Drunk Driving Accident Attorneys

We Fight to Win Your Compensation in Hamilton County

Drunk driving accidents are some of the most severe and devastating accidents that can occur on the roads of Tennessee. When a driver drives while intoxicated, it is not just the driver who is put in danger, but every other motorist on the road. In fact, drunk driving accidents are one of the leading causes of fatal motor vehicle accidents in the United States.

When a drunk driver is involved in a car accident, injuries are far more likely to be severe and fatalities are more common. The driver's poor judgment and inability to operate a motor vehicle safely are what cause these accidents, and their victims are often left with life-changing injuries and permanent disabilities.

At Berke, Berke & Berke, we understand the devastation that drunk driving accidents can cause. We are also aware that the insurance companies of the drunk drivers will try to use every trick in the book to deny you the compensation you deserve. We are prepared to fight to win.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a drunk driving accident, contact our firm today for a consultation.
