Drunk & Driving Accidents

Drunk driving accidents share many similarities with other types of car accidents, such as the occurrence of serious injuries, the need to determine liability, and the process of negotiating settlements with insurance companies. However, there are two key differences when it comes to drunk driving accidents. Firstly, proving that someone was driving while intoxicated (DWI) establishes negligence per se. This means that if a person is injured in a drunk driving accident, they don’t need to demonstrate all four elements of negligence to prove liability.
