Drivers who get behind the wheel while affected by alcohol and drugs account for nearly 33% of all traffic deaths across the US. Many of these drivers are not first-time offenders either, which makes the crime that much more upsetting. Their innocent DUI victims are the ones who are left to suffer because of these drivers’ poor choices. Fortunately, they don’t have to suffer in silence. Personal injury attorneys, including Phoenix Accident and Injury Law Firm, fight for these DUI victims to ensure they are compensated for the selfish and reckless acts of DUI drivers.
According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), a person is injured in a drunk-driving crash every two minutes. Plus, the average drunk driver has driven drunk more than 80 times before their first arrest. This problem is pervasive and leaves in its wake some DUI victims.
