Intoxicated Drivers and Auto Accidents
Car accidents can be caused by many factors, including distracted drivers, mechanical defects or failures, and hazardous road conditions. If a person chooses to operate his or her vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he or she may greatly increase the chances of being involved in a serious auto accident.
Persons who are injured in an accident caused by an intoxicated driver may be able to pursue legal action against the individual responsible. Following an accident, injured parties may be eligible for compensation for pain, suffering, and medical expenses.
