Vehicle Accidents in California

Studies revealed that an estimated 29 people lose their lives every day in the United States after being involved in a DUI accident. When drivers get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol, they lose their ability to effectively operate a vehicle and end up putting themselves and others in danger. Their hand-eye coordination and reaction abilities get delayed, and their vision gets blurred. After a certain amount of alcohol, drivers aren’t able to make responsible decisions, which is why so many people lose their lives every day.

Since this accident happened because of another driver’s negligence, the deceased victim’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death lawsuit.
