Cedar Rapids Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
Any motor vehicle accident is a devastating event, especially when injury or death is involved. However, the horrors of an accident seem even worse when the accident unnecessarily takes place because of an alcohol-impaired driver. Despite significant changes in drunk driving legislation over the past twenty years, drunk driving accidents continue to take place with alarming regularity.
One study found that in the year 2006 alone there were 13,470 fatalities due to drunk driving accidents. These alcohol-related fatalities represent 37% of all traffic fatalities that took place that year. Sadly, despite all of the work done by anti-drunk driving legislation and activist groups, the number of alcohol-related fatalities in 2006 is roughly the same as the number in 1996.

Punishing Dangerous Drivers
When someone gets behind the wheel of an automobile under the intoxication of alcohol, he or she displays a blatant disregard for the well-being and safety of others on the road. Due to an increase in drunk driving awareness over the last twenty years, nearly everyone on the road is informed of the dangers that driving while intoxicated can bring.
When someone chooses to drive under the influence of alcohol, aware of the threat this brings to everyone on the road, he or she is liable for any and all accidents that take place.
