Drunk Driving Accidents | Las Vegas Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

If You or a Loved One Were Seriously Injured or Fatally Injured in a Car Crash Caused by a Drunken Driver, You should know. In all 50 states driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal. In all 50 states a driver may not have a blood alcohol concentration or (BAC) of 0.08 or higher dmvnv.com

Even while non-alcohol impairment substances, such as opioids and marijuana, can cause traffic accidents due to the disablement of a person’s normal muscular and mental and visual functioning, alcohol is still the leading cause of intoxicated traffic accidents and deaths.

According to a report put out by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control cdc.gov at least 28 people die in the US on a daily basis due to motor vehicle accidents that involve alcohol-impaired drivers; this means one death every 51 minutes, which some years amount to one-third of all traffic-related deaths in the nation being caused by drunk drivers.

As cited in a November 2018 study conducted by The National Center for Statistics and Analysis

nhtsa.gov in spite of a three decade long decline in the number of fatalities caused by DUI’s throughout the nation, Las Vegas, being one of the largest cities in Nevada, continues to rank dangerously high in its yearly number of deadly DUI crashes. And among all the states, Nevada had one of the highest percentage of Alcohol-Impaired -Driving Fatalities
