Protecting Drunk Driving Accident Victims in Florida
Mark Anthony Gager — West Melbourne, Florida, Personal Injury Lawyer
Drunk driving accidents cause pain, death, disability, and fury among accident victims and their families. It seems unfair that such grossly irresponsible personal conduct could have such tragic, life-changing effects on a completely innocent bystander.
When someone who has had too much to drink decides to get behind the wheel of a car, his or her behavior extends beyond simple negligence — it's a crime.

Strong Technical Aptitude
Attorney Gager is extraordinarily familiar with all the complexities and technicalities of DUI injury cases. He is well grounded in playing to the strengths and limitations of:
- Blood tests
- Breath tests
- Chemical tests
He is also experienced with cases involving insurance companies' "alcohol exclusion" policies — where the drunk driver's policy is precluded from paying damages caused while the policyholder was drunk.
In many cases, the driver that caused the accident did so while under the influence of a controlled substance other than alcohol. This can include illegal drugs like marijuana or methamphetamines, as well as prescription drugs like Percocet or Valium. Even if the driver has a prescription, it doesn't matter: It's never legal to drive under the influence of a controlled substance.
"When somebody is under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, their ability to drive, walk, talk, and judge distance is severely compromised. This in and of itself creates the presumption of negligence."
