Drunk Driving Accident Statistics

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that over 10,000 people lose their lives each year due to drunk driving. Substance abuse contributes to about 20% of fatal car accidents.

Each year, 2,000 people in California lose their lives and 30,000 are injured as a result of car accidents in the Golden State. Drunk driving is a major contributor. A conviction for drunk driving can have terrible monetary ramifications.

Drunk drivers pose a greater threat to other motorists due to their poor judgment, slower reaction times, and reduced control of their vehicles. It is the responsibility of every individual not knowingly to place themselves in harm’s way.

Victims of drunk driving accidents never merit the stigmatization that often comes with their wounds. Seek the advice of legal counsel before agreeing to anything or participating in any interviews. Seek the advice of an attorney specializing in cases involving injuries caused by drunk drivers if you or a loved one has been wounded in an accident.
