2nd DUI Penalties in Georgia: What Victims Need to Know
If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver with a prior DUI conviction, the stakes are even higher. A second DUI offense in Georgia carries steeper criminal penalties—but those consequences do not automatically result in compensation for the victims. At Blevins & Hong, P.C., we focus on representing victims of DUI accidents, helping them hold repeat offenders accountable through the civil justice system.
Repeat DUI Offenders Pose Greater Risk
A second DUI conviction in Georgia can lead to harsher penalties, including longer jail time, higher fines, a longer license suspension, and mandatory treatment programs. These criminal consequences are important, but they don’t pay your medical bills or make up for what you’ve lost.
That’s where a civil claim comes in—and that’s where we come in.
Your Right to Civil Compensation as a Victim
As someone injured by a repeat DUI offender, you have the legal right to pursue financial compensation for:
Emergency and ongoing medical care
Lost income and future earning potential
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Vehicle repairs or replacement
Punitive damages for gross negligence or recklessness
At Blevins & Hong, P.C., we aggressively pursue justice for victims across Gwinnett, Hall, and Forsyth County, especially when dealing with drivers who already knew better but chose to offend again.
We Know How to Handle Repeat Offender Cases
Attorney Richard Blevins brings unique insight as a former police officer and prosecutor who’s seen the damage repeat DUI offenders can cause. Combined with attorney Soo Hong’s litigation experience, we bring a powerful, victim-focused approach that gets results.
