Drunk Driving Accident Victims
Definition:
Drunk driving, also known as Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or alcohol (DUI), is a crime that accounts for majority of traffic fatalities in the United States. Those who drink and drive put themselves and innocent motorists at risk for serious injuries. Drunk driving accident victims suffer physical pain, trauma, devastation and in some cases, wrongful death.
Consequences of Drunk Driving Accident Victims:
Drunk driving accidents often have more severe effects than other traffic accidents. Drunk drivers lack the capacity to drive properly and have slower reaction time. They often fall asleep at the wheel, or drive full-speed outside the lanes, causing head-on collisions. Although the criminal courts do punish drunk drivers, they do not provide compensation for drunk driving accident victims.What a Lawyer can do for you:
