$33 Million Settlement in DUI Lawsuit Between Friends
Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk. This is great advice that should be followed all the time by every driver and their friends. Unfortunately, some friends DO let their friends drive drunk – with life-altering consequences.
George Baldwin didn’t follow this warning and ended up as a paraplegic because his friend William Klairmont was drunk behind the wheel with George in the passenger seat. William lost control of the car and ran head-on into a utility pole. George was only 19 years old at the time of the accident.
George suffered paralysis from the chest down and a head injury that destroyed his pituitary gland, which left him with a permanently elevated body temperature and other health conditions.
George was awarded $33 million in a settlement against his friend William.
You may always follow this advice, but other drivers may not. If you are involved in an auto accident where the other driver was intoxicated, you may be entitled to a substantial financial award. It’s important to contact an attorney to be your advocate during this stressful time.
This is so important it should be repeated – Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk.
