At the Hollander Law Firm, we take special care in fighting for the rights of victims who have been seriously injured or killed by the careless or negligent acts of a drunk driver.
Nowhere does our founding principle, "Each Case is Personal," take on greater meaning than our obligation to hold a driver responsible for serious injury or death caused by the senseless act of climbing behind the wheel after having too much to drink.
Somewhere in the United States, a motorist dies in a drunk driving accident every 45 minutes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Mothers against Drunk Driving calls it the most frequently committed violent crime in America.
