Sometimes our choices place us on the wrong side of the law. From drinking at your job’s annual party and making an incorrect decision to drive while impaired to being in an intense argument with a spouse or loved one and now you face domestic assault charges. In 2017, there were 18, 913 DUI arrests in Tennessee.

  • Will the insurance company pay for my medical bills?
