Vehicle Accidents in California

Recent studies show that one person dies every 50 minutes due to an alcohol-related traffic accident in the United States. The reason driving under the influence is so dangerous is because after a certain amount of alcohol is in a driver’s system, the ability to safely operate a vehicle decreases. Too much alcohol slows down the functions of the central nervous system, which causes delayed brain function and reaction times. Despite this fact, thousands of drivers continue to get behind the wheel while they’re impaired, which continues to cause serious injuries and death throughout the country.

Because driving under the influence is an act of negligence, the injured victim could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
