Drunk Driving Accident Statistics

Over 10,000 people a year are killed because of drunk driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. About 20% of all fatal car accidents involve substance addiction.

About 2,000 individuals per year in California are killed and another 30,000 are injured as a result of automotive accidents. One of the leading causes is people getting behind the wheel after drinking. A conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can have serious monetary consequences.

As a result of their intoxication, drunk drivers pose a danger to other motorists due to their impaired decision-making, slowed reflexes, and shaky handling of their vehicles. One’s own safety should always come first, and one should never voluntarily put oneself in danger.

There should be no shame linked with the injuries sustained by victims of drunk driving incidents. It’s a good idea to consult an attorney before making any final decisions or cooperating with investigators. If you or a loved one has been wounded in an accident that you suspect involved drunk driving, you should consult with an attorney who handles such cases as quickly as possible.
