In 2013, more than 10,000 Americans died[1] in accidents involving drunk drivers. Thousands more victims suffer injuries, many of them life-altering, from collisions caused by individuals driving under the influence of alcohol.
If a driver was drunk when he or she was involved in an accident, that driver is nearly always going to be determined to be the party responsible for any victims’ injuries. Consuming alcohol inhibits an individual’s ability to perceive distances, react to obstacles and other drivers, judge his or her surroundings, and maintain the ability to walk or drive in a straight line. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for drivers throughout the United States is .08%. Anybody found operating a motor vehicle whose BAC is at or above this limit may face a charge for driving under the influence (DUI).
