While most people are fully aware of the dangers associated with drunk driving, far too many people continue to engage in this type of risky behavior, endangering not only themselves, but all those around them. Sadly, drunk driving accidents often result in extremely serious injuries, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/joemillerinjurylaw.com\/practice-areas\/spinal-injuries\/\" title=\"Spinal Injuries\">spinal injuries<\/a>, or even death.<\/p>\n<p>At Joe Miller Law, we believe that no one in Norfolk should have to pay for the consequences that a drunk driver\u2019s poor decisions had on their life. While taking legal action cannot reverse the repercussions of a drunk driving accident, many victims are able to find justice and obtain financial compensation by filing a lawsuit against the drunk driver who so recklessly chose to get behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<h2>The Added Dangers of Drunk Driving<\/h2>\n<p>Not only is drunk driving itself an incredibly dangerous act, but in many car accident cases, drunk drivers also engage in a number of other dangerous behaviors\u00a0behind the wheel.
