The jogger was reported to have been pinned under the car and taken to University of Louisville Hospital to be treated for injuries for the accident.

The goal being to get the injured person the legal justice and compensation they need and deserve from such tragic accidents. The damages from a DUI related accident like this can be substantial, and its important to leave no stone unturned in looking for financial recovery for the victims.
