DWI Accidents

When you look at the statistics for alcohol and drug related driving accidents and deaths, the numbers are staggering and quite sobering. In 2007, there were 12,998 fatalities nationwide that involved a driver with a blood alcohol content .08 or higher.

When a driver steps behind the wheel of an automobile, the driver assumes the responsibility of exercising reasonable care and failure to do so because of intoxication is, not only a violation of the law, but a blatant act of negligence that makes the driver liable for damages suffered to those injured or the family of those killed.

Our driving laws clearly acknowledge the danger of driving while intoxicated (or under the influence) and is considered a violent crime and the punishments served for such an infraction are quite severe and are structured to discourage this menace. Even so, day after day an innocent victim of drunk driving is either killed or severely injured by those drivers who choose to ignore the laws and place others and themselves in jeopardy.
