Drunk Driving Accidents in Brevard County
Mark Anthony Gager — a West Melbourne, Florida, Personal Injury Lawyer
Drunk driving accidents cause pain, death, disability and fury among their victims and the victims' 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.

Mr. 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:
- Breath tests
- Blood 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.
"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."
Mark Anthony Gager
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.
