This scene, unfortunately, happens all too often.  One of the toughest parts of our jobs as a  car wreck attorney is taking phone calls from clients injured by a drunk or distracted driver.  Let’s face it, car accidents happen, but when they are the result of potentially criminal behavior, they are all the more tragic.

In these circumstances, the victims of grossly negligent behavior, and potentially criminal, should contact an attorney who handles car wrecks.   If you have questions for an experienced car wreck attorney, then we suggest you contact Kirkendall Dwyer LLP.
