Injuries due to Drunk Driving Accident, Stockton
Drunk drivers threaten the safety of our highways, interstates and streets every hours of every day. The majority of people believe that they are still sober enough to get behind the wheel of a vehicle to drive, even if they have blood alcohol content (BAC) level of .08%, which in California is legally intoxicated! Drunk drivers caused nearly 2,000 deaths in California recently. People who decide to drink and drive are not only putting their lives at risk, but the lives of innocent victims. A person who gets behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking is not in control, their reaction time is much slower, their judgment, attention and focus are impaired causing them to run through stop signs and traffic lights, not stopping in time, creating havoc and causing accidents.
People who are injured as a result of a drunk driver are entitled to receive monetary compensation for the injuries sustained. This type of lawsuit is a personal injury claim for negligence, and would be brought against the driver of the car. California law holds intoxicated persons to the same standard as those drivers not drinking. Driving while intoxicated is one of the most negligent acts a person can do and they should be held responsible for their conscious acts.
