Vehicle Accidents in California

Recent studies show that every 50 minutes someone loses their life in a DUI accident in the United States. Studies also show that most DUI accidents happen overnight, as was the case in this collision. DUI accidents are so frequent because after a certain amount of alcohol consumption, drivers lose their ability to effectively operate a vehicle. Too much alcohol slows down the body’s central nervous system, which results into delayed hand-eye coordination and brain function. Drivers also experience lack of reasoning and lack of self-control, making it easy for serious damage to occur.

After some investigation, the police confirmed that Nunez was under the influence of inhalants and alcohol, which means this accident was a clear act of negligence. Therefore, the two injured victims could file personal injury lawsuits with the help of a personal injury attorney.
