Drunk Driver Accidents

Drunk Driving is a choice.  Each one of us is aware of the risk involved when drinking and driving, yet too many people decide to take the chance.  Tragically, drunk driving is one of the leading causes of injuries and death on our nation's roads today.  When a driver chooses to break the law and operate a vehicle after drinking, they have just chosen to gamble with someone’s life. 

Drunk driving accidents often result when a driver speeds, drives too slowly, makes an improper turn in front of oncoming traffic, fails to stop at a red light or stop sign, drives on the wrong side of the road or rear-ends another vehicle.  In some cases, the supplier of the alcohol may be found negligent as well.

The victim of a drunk driving accident is often left with overwhelming emotional trauma as well as expensive and sometimes debilitating personal injuries.  Injuries can range from minor scratches to complete paralysis or death.
