Extremely Drunk Driver Killed Officer Payne

Extremely Drunk Driver Killed Officer Payne
By:  Galen Satterlee

The man that killed Chandler Police Officer David Payne was extremely intoxicated at the time of the collision.  In fact, he was nearly four times the legal limit.  What's more, the drunk driver had a suspended license for a prior DUI offense at the time he took Officer Payne's life. UNACCEPTABLE.

DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT KILLS 6 YEAR-OLD PHOENIX GIRL

Drunk Driving Accident Kills Six-Year old Phoenix Girl
By:  Galen Satterlee




For the second time in a matter of weeks, the child of a drunk driver has died.  Phoenix police say the impaired driver, who was not identified, lost control of his vehicle in the area of 3500 North 75th Avenue in Phoenix and "t-boned" a pickup truck.  A woman driving a Chevrolet was transported to the hospital in extremely critical condition.




This was another preventable drunk driving accident.  Personal responsibility, plan your trips so you always have a designated driver available.  This is SO inexcusable!

DISTRACTED DRIVER INJURES CITY OF PHOENIX EMPLOYEE

DISTRACTED DRIVER INJURES CITY OF PHOENIX EMPLOYEE
By: Galen Satterlee

A City of Phoenix employee was injured at 24th Street and Pecos Rd. in Ahwatukee today.  A distracted female driver was reaching for a bottle in the back seat of her SUV when she struck and seriously injured the municipal employee.  It is our present understanding the at-fault driver had two children under 5 years old in the back seat at the time of the collision.

Distracted driving is a cause of thousands of accidents in Arizona annually.  Distractions inside a car are the number 2 cause of distracted driving accidents (behind outside distractions - i.e. looking at another accident).  Cell phone usage is the 3rd most frequent cause of distracted driving accidents in Arizona.

If you are the victim of a distracted driving accident, please call us and we will be happy to help guide you through the process of pursuing a claim and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

The driver of the vehicle was the brother-in-law of the surviving male passenger.  The two girls that were killed in the accident were daughters of the surviving male passenger.

How many more people need to die because of drunk driving?
