Harrisburg DUI Accident Victim Attorneys
There are enough challenges to road and highway safety that the introduction of needless additional complications is senseless at best and criminal at worst. One of the most dangerous ways a driver can endanger his or her life and the lives of others is by driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or another substance. Although there has been a substantial legal crackdown and shift in public opinion on drunk driving in recent decades, numerous crashes still occur each year as a result of this poor judgment.
You may be entitled to seek legal action against drunk drivers if they caused an accident in which you were involved. Contact the Harrisburg DUI accident victim lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
To put into perspective the toll that Pennsylvania’s DUI drivers take upon innocent individuals, consider the following statistics:
- In 2007 there were 535 fatalities (nearly 1.5 per day) in accidents caused by drunk drivers
- These deaths constitute more than 1/3 of the total number of crash-related deaths
- For the same year, there were 12,867 automobile crashes directly associated with alcohol
The reality of the situation is that driving under the influence results in a drastically increased risk of accident injuries. This may be in part due to a diminished ability to assess dangers and to take action that would reduce the force of a collision.
