New Year's Eve is a fun time for family and friends to get together and celebrate. Unfortunately, with all of the celebration comes an increase in personal injury. Car accidents tend to skyrocket around this time as many drivers make the careless choice to get behind the wheel drunk. In the blink of an eye, a person's health or life can be taken from them by a drunk driver, leaving them to start the New Year with an overwhelming and frustrating set of problems. If a drunk driver has left you in need of medical care, trust in the lawyers at Tracey & Fox to protect your rights to legal action.
