Attorney Handling Drunk Driving Accidents in Boca Raton

Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents

Florida law provides extensive rights for the victims involved in drunk driving accidents and the related injuries caused with the hope of driving home the point that it is totally unacceptable to drink and drive. Drivers who consume alcohol and then get behind the wheel of their vehicle are one of the leading causes of all accidents. When you then realize the accident could have been 100% preventable, the emotional toll on the family and friends of those injured or killed is an even greater tragedy. The legal limit for alcohol consumption is 0.08% in Florida and by all accounts throughout the United States. Due to the numerous accidents caused each year by drunk drivers, Florida has a 'zero tolerance' limit for underage drivers, with an alcohol content of .02% considered DUI.

One should know that when an individual is driving under the influence and then gets into his car or truck, he is not only endangering himself and others, he is committing a criminal offense.  Drunk drivers are known to ignore State traffic laws by running red lights, driving erratically as well as speeding. If you have been injured or a family member killed due to a drunk driver, it is important that you schedule an appointment with a Personal injury lawyer to pursue your claim. Severe injuries can be sustained when hit by a drunk driver that include brain damage, disfigurement, head and spinal injuries and of course fatalities.
