They can happen at any time. Drunk driving accidents occur day and night, with far-reaching effects. When a driver who is under the influence of alcohol gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, lives are at risk. Intoxicated drivers cause injury and death to innocent victims by:
- Speeding and swerving
- Failing to stop
- Making improper turns
- Falling asleep at the wheel
Drunk driving is illegal and claims or changes the lives of innocent victims too often. That’s why at Goren, Goren & Harris, we are drunk-driving accident attorneys committed to fighting for victims with steadfast determination, extensive resources and legal knowledge. The negligent actions of drunk drivers frequently result in injury or death to innocent passengers and other drivers. They also cause pedestrian injury accidents. In 2012, alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes in the United States:
- Killed someone every 51 minutes
- Led to thousands of non-fatal injuries
- Caused approximately one-third of traffic-related deaths
If you need a DUI accident attorney, we can advise you about your legal rights. Drunk drivers and their insurance companies may be required to pay for victims’ losses, even when those suffering are the passengers in an impaired driver’s vehicle.
