Liability For Sacramento Car Accidents
Driver intoxication is one of the leading causes of car accidents in the United States. According to the NHTSA, “Every day, about 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that’s one person every 45 minutes. In 2020, 11,654 people died in alcohol-impaired driving traffic deaths — a 14% increase from 2019.” Even small amounts of alcohol below the legal limit can substantially impair drivers in the following ways.
- Delayed reaction times
- Trouble staying within a lane
- Reduced coordination
It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. No person shall drive a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. Commercial drivers must not have a BAC of 0.04% or higher. Any person that is injured due to the negligence of a drunk driver may have legal recourse through a bodily injury claim.
