HOW DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENTS OCCUR

Drunk driving accidents occur when motor vehicle drivers choose to operate their vehicles while they are illegally under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. Usually, this means that the offending driver has a high blood alcohol concentration or has failed chemical testing. In cases when an at-fault driver is convicted of DUI or receives a reckless driving citation, that alone is usually sufficient to establish fault in a personal injury matter that arises out of the collision. However, the accident victim will still need to establish that he or she suffered physical injuries as a direct and proximate result of the accident. Possible damages include economic compensation for medical bills and lost wages, along with non economic damages for pain and suffering and possible lost life enjoyment.
