DUI and DWI Differences in Georgia

DUI stands for driving under the influence and it is charged to drivers who operate a vehicle after consuming drugs or alcohol. DWI stands for driving while intoxicated and sometimes prescription drugs qualify. However, DWI generally refers to a driver under the influence of alcohol.

In some states a DUI or DWI is interchangeable while others differentiate between the two. In these states, DUI is a lesser charge signifying a lower blood alcohol concentration. The state of Georgia does not differentiate between DUI and DWI. Instead, DUI is used because it encompasses the use of both drugs and alcohol.
Georgia DUI accident victims may file civil claims against any drunk driver and their insurance company, in addition to the criminal charges they already face. DUI victims may sue for damages including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Property damage
  • Loss of income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Wrongful death

Your attorney with help you to understand the criminal, civil, and Georgia DUI laws that will affect your claim while guiding you through the legal process, outlining what steps to take in order to successfully prove negligence and/or misconduct. They’ll also be available to answer any questions that you may have about your case.
