Vehicle Accidents in California

Studies show that about 1/3 of people in the United States will be involved in a drunk driving accident at least once in their lifetime. The reason so many drunk drivers are on the road is because the first thing alcohol does is impair one’s judgement. Therefore, they may think they’re able to safely get to their destination, but that is rarely ever the case. The second thing alcohol does is slow down brain activity which affects the five senses.

Therefore, even though drivers aren’t intentionally trying to put themselves and others in harm’s way, they still do when they decide to get behind the wheel after too much alcohol consumption.
Because this accident was a clear act of negligence, the injured victim could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
