In the U.S., someone is killed about every 45 minutes because someone else was driving drunk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports nearly 13,000 highway deaths attributable to drunk driving in 2009. That’s more than a third of all the Americans who were killed in traffic crashes that year. Here in California, the statistics mirror those nationwide. Of the more than 3,000 people killed in traffic crashes in 2009, 1,125 deaths involved accidents in which drivers had been drinking. If you’ve been hurt by a drunk driver, consult a personal injury attorney for guidance on making a claim for compensation.

In California, nearly 215,000 people are arrested for DUI in a year’s time. Most people tend to view drunk driving as a leading threat to their safety, and the California legislature has taken action to strengthen the penalties for drunk driving in an effort to discourage motorists from operating their vehicles while impaired.

Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tell us that young children are at high risk for injury or death in a motor vehicle crash caused by a drunk driver. One in six traffic-crash deaths of children under the age of 15 involves an alcohol impaired driver. Motorcycle riders also are at heightened risk: Almost a third of the motorcyclists who die in accidents are found to have high levels of alcohol in their blood.
