While serious traffic accidents are always horrible events, collisions that are caused by drunk drivers can be particularly tragic because they are entirely preventable and they often result in severe – if not fatal – injuries. In fact, according to Mother Against Drunk Drivers (MADD):
- Every day in the U.S., about 300,000 drivers choose to get behind the wheel when they are intoxicated.
- While one person is killed in a DUI accident every 51 or so minutes, another person is hurt in a drunk driving accident every 90 seconds.
- About 33 percent of all Americans will be involved in a DUI accident at least once in their lifetime (either as the drunk driver or the accident victim).
Despite the frequency of DUI accidents and their often terrible outcomes, people who are hit by drunk drivers should know that:
- While drunk drivers often face criminal charges and penalties, victims can also hold these negligent motorists accountable in civil court.
- Victims can obtain compensation for the damages and injuries caused by the drunk driver by filing a lawsuit.
- They will have the best chances of obtaining the full amount of compensation they deserve by working with the Littleton drunk driving accident attorneys at the Law Office of Bahr, Kreidle & Flicker.
