Were You Injured By A Drunk Driver?
Drunk driving accidents are among one of the leading causes of avoidable death and injury in the United States. A driver is considered to be over the legal limit of alcohol consumption when their blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08 percent or more. Any time a driver gets behind the wheel of a vehicle after having consumed any volume of alcohol runs the risk of injuring an innocent victim. Although the individual who caused your accident may not have been over the legal limit, their intoxication may still have caused your injury. This is a form of negligence that a person should be held accountable for.
Although drivers who are arrested for driving under the influence may be criminally charged with a DUI and suffer penalties, as a victim of an accident, you still have the opportunity to file a personal injury claim against them.
Rather than a criminal charge, a personal injury claim is based on the principle of negligence rather than guilt. If a person’s negligent actions caused you or your loved one to sustain an injury, then you can file a claim against that person in order to receive compensation.
