When DUI Drivers Hit California’s Pedestrians

Driver distraction is the most common cause of pedestrian injuries and death, while the most common cause of driver distraction itself is driver intoxication. When an intoxicated person gets behind the wheel of a car, they are breaking the implied promise all drivers have in one another to only drive when 100% alert. A driver who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol is unable to fulfill this promise.

The attorneys at the Brady Law Group focus on wrongful death lawsuits due to vehicle accidents. We believe that the families of those killed in DUI accidents must never be held financially accountable for expenses due to an accident brought on by a DUI driver.
