|  Plain and simple, operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol is reckless, irresponsible and criminal. The inherent challenges of maintaining awareness and managing multiple variables of speed and distance create a complex position of responsibility for a driver. Add alcohol to the equation and the propensity for tragic miscalculations increases exponentially.
Further affecting cases of drunk driver negligence is the potential for joint liability where the owner of an establishment knowingly serves a patron too much alcohol. Serving regular customers with known drinking problems, customers who are obviously impaired and those who are underage extends accident liability to the business owner.
Regardless of where the responsibility originated, drunk drivers can inflict horrendous damage and injuries to innocent victims. Whether it’s running a red light, speeding or erratic movements, impaired motorists jeopardize other motorists – even when those in a stopped position. Bottom line: When you are victimized by another individual’s criminal behavior, you are entitled to compensation for your injury and loss.
