Understanding the Perils of Drunk Driving

Alcohol poses a well-documented threat to drivers, yet many individuals still make the dangerous choice to operate a vehicle after consuming alcohol. Even a single alcoholic beverage can lead to a noticeable increase in a driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC), impairing their ability to operate a vehicle safely. The higher the BAC, the more compromised their driving skills become.

Alcohol impairs drivers by:

• Slowing reaction times.
• Inducing swerving within their lane.
• Blurring vision.
• Distracting from focus.
• Inducing drowsiness.

If you’ve been involved in an accident with someone who admitted to consuming alcohol before the incident, it’s reasonable to assume they were not driving responsibly. Take note of their statement to share with one of our drunk driving accident attorneys and legal team; it could be crucial in establishing their full liability for your damages.

Proving the Driver’s Intoxication

While a statement from the other driver confessing to their intoxication at the accident scene can be helpful, it’s not always the most substantial evidence available to our team. With our extensive collective experience, we know how to thoroughly investigate your accident’s circumstances to gather proof of the other driver’s intoxication and, consequently, their liability. We collaborate with law enforcement and prosecutors to uncover evidence that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Police-related evidence that can strengthen your drunk driving accident claim includes:

• Results of field sobriety tests (FST).
• Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test results.
• Evidence used in criminal prosecution.
• Conviction or sentencing outcomes.

While the criminal case’s outcome against the other driver is not directly linked to your civil case, we can utilize the same evidence and build compelling arguments based on its results. Even if the driver is not convicted of drunk driving, you can still file a drunk driving accident claim and secure a favorable outcome.
