Injuries Caused by Drunk Driving
Compensation for Drunk Driving Accidents
Looking for an attorney for a drunk driving accident in Coral Gables? Drunk drivers create a dangerous environment for everyone on the road, and put the lives of both pedestrians and other drivers at risk. It is illegal to drive in this state with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or greater. In the United States, anything above .08% is considered to be intoxicated and above the legal limit. A person found guilty of drunk driving will face incarceration, heavy fines and other penalties. When a drunk driver causes an accident involving injuries they can end up behind bars for many years. There blatant disregard for the safety of others should not go unnoticed.

Drunk Driving Statistics
Did you know that three in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some point in their lives? That is a very saddening statistic to think about. In 2009, one person was killed about every 48 minutes because of a drunk driver. One important thing to remember as you are driving out on the roads is that fatal drunk driving accidents are four times more likely to happen at night rather than during the day. After a fatal car crash, when law enforcement officials take the drunk driver's BAC level, more often than not they are at .17%, which is more than twice the legal limit. In 2009, Florida had the second highest death rate due to drunk driving accidents, with 770 people killed and California in the lead with 950 people. Drunk driving statistics vary from year to year, but the lesson still remains the same: drunk driving only harms people and claims lives.
