Athens Accident Lawyer | Woman Charged with DUI in Fiery Crash
A UGA sorority girl and recent graduate was charged with DUI following a fiery crash near Five Points on Sunday night. Stacy Paige Cason lost control of her Chevy Tahoe in the early morning hours after funning a stop sign.After running the stop sign, Cason hit two parked cars and a telephone pole before jumping a curb and crashing into a utility pole. After hitting the pole, Cason's Tahoe erupted into flames. Neither Cason nor her passenger were hurt.
Officers on the scene claim Cason had a breath alcohol level twice the legal limit. The legal limit in Georgia (and most states for that matter) is .08, meaning Cason had to blow over a .16.
This case is a good illustration of the challenge personal injury lawyers face when dealing with personal injury cases. Many people erroneously believe that just because someone does something wrong, they have a pesonal injury case. Here it appears that Cason did not injure anyone.
Thus, even though she was clearly negligent in getting behind the wheel while intoxicated, her actions likely won't result in a personal injury claim. The only person who might have such a claim is her passenger. Of course, every one who suffered property damage as a result of Cason's actions will have a claim against her for the damage to their vehicles or other personalty.
