Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer in Morristown
Accidents Caused by DUI Drivers
Driving while under the influence of impairing substances such as alcohol is illegal in the state of Tennessee. If the BAC (blood alcohol content) of an individual is found to be at 0.08% or higher, then they are legally intoxicated and not permitted to be in control of a motor vehicle. Drunk drivers are the cause of thousands of accidents and deaths throughout the United States on an annual basis.
In 2008, 327 people were killed in an accident involving a drunk driver whose BAC was 0.08% or greater in the state of Tennessee. By contrast, only 59 people were killed in an accident where the driver's BAC was between 0.01% and 0.07% in Tennessee. If you or your loved one has been injured in an accident that was caused by a drunk driver then you may be able to collect monetary compensation for your injuries. In order to have a personal injury claim you must be able to prove the negligence of another individual that caused your injuries.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is against the law and therefore a negligent act on the drunk driver's part. If you're facing consequences of this, seek help from our firm by contacting us today.

I like that guy, he cares about me and my case. He is not like the other lawyers who looks at you like a number. He genuinely cares.- Former Client

A few years ago I was addicted to drugs. My addiction led me to steal and eventually I caught a few criminal charges. Troy Bowlin took my case. I spent time in jail for a little while as my bond was revoked. Troy immediately started working on getting me released and helping me through the release process. Troy was finally able to get me released to a 45-day rehab facility versus spending more time in jail. The rehab was a wonderful experience on my road to sobriety. Once I left rehab, the court appearances began. Troy was always present and on time. He would even be there early to discuss with me what would probably happen before court began. This was very comforting because when you are facing felony charges, court is very nerve-wracking. Troy was able to get me two years unsupervised probation. Based on the charges I had incurred this was short of a miracle. The two years gave me time to evaluate my life and become clean and sober. After the two years, Troy filed for judicial diversion. Once this was done, I have absolutely no charges on my record today. From where I started to where I ended up is all because of Troy's hard work. I find myself very lucky to have been blessed with this kind of caliber of lawyer. If it wasn't for Troy I would not be starting Nursing School in the fall. My future is bright now and my path is clear. If it was not for Troy I would not be as successful as I am now.- Former Client

I will never forget the time Mr. Bowlin came to visit me in jail on a Sunday. It was Fathers day and he was the first one to wish me Happy Fathers Day. Mr. Bowlin does not know how much that meant.- Former Client
