Drunk driving in the United States takes a life every 45 minutes, and changes forever the lives of those left behind. Despite decades of driver education that makes these consequences clear, thousands of Americans continue to selfishly choose to drive under the influence. Whether or not the driver is criminally prosecuted, victims of drunk driving can sue for the costs of the accident, including the terrible personal cost of a wrongful death or permanent disability. A drunk driving attorney can help victims recover the money they need to get the right medical care, rebuild their lives and eventually move on.
