Massachusetts laws against drunk driving are considerably strict. There is a simple explanation for this. Drunk driving is taken seriously because it frequently results in disaster. Driving intoxicated severely impairs motor function and reflexes, thereby making ordinary situations on the road much more difficult to navigate. When drunk driving accidents occur, people are often grievously wounded, or in the worst cases, killed. Criminal laws are often involved in these circumstances, but there is also the opportunity to recover monetary damages from the responsible driver in civil court.
On September 21, 2009, 19-year-old George Baldwin was driving in a sedan with his friend William Klairmont. The two were driving in Lake County, Illinois that night. William had been drinking. Suddenly, William lost control of the sedan and smashed head-on into a utility pole. As a result of the accident, his friend George was severely injured. George was rushed to a nearby hospital, but the damage had already been done. The teenager suffered paralysis from the chest down, and a head injury that destroyed his pituitary gland. As a result of his brain injury, George was left with a permanently elevated body temperature and numerous other health conditions.
After filing a lawsuit against his former friend, George was awarded $33 million by a Lake County, Illinois jury. George was represented in the case by Attorney Patrick Salvi.
