Drunk Driving and Auto Accidents

In addition to negligent and aggressive drivers, alcohol is a factor in 38% of all deadly car crashes and 7% of all auto accidents. In 2007, Florida's drunken driving accidents totaled 22,823. DUIs, formerly known as DWIs, can apply to those under the influence of alcohol, prescription medication, illicit drugs, and even over-the counter medicine. Individuals who were injured in alcohol-related crashes should speak with a car accident lawyer about recovering compensation for their injuries. Other types of traffic collisions involved in auto accident cases include rollover accidents, head-on collisions, side impact collisions, rear-end collisions, high-speed collisions, and lane changing accidents.

Some causes for these types of car crashes include the following:

  • Speeding
  • Driving too slow
  • Reckless driving
  • Drugs and/or alcohol
  • Failure to obey traffic signs
  • Falling asleep at the wheel
  • Failure to utilize turn signals
  • Aggressive driving

The driver, however, may not be at fault for every car accident. Automobile defects, incorrect highway signs, construction, faulty highway or road design, inadequate lighting, or out-of-order traffic lights may be to blame. The government or automobile company can be at fault for these accidents and immediately contacting an auto accident attorney can help reimburse you for your losses.

Car and Driving Safety

Everyone always thinks it is other people on the road that they need to be concerned about, but why not start with yourself? If everyone could be a bit more conscientious behind the wheel and practice safe habits, it would make sense that accidents, road rage, and other unwanted driving problems would experience a downward trend. Aside from demonstrating car control proficiency and excellent decision-making skills in the driver's seat, here are some simple guidelines that every driver should be aware of and abide by:

  • Avoid tailgating.
  • Stay at least three seconds behind the driver ahead of you.
  • Don't forget to use directional signals when making turns and changing lanes.
  • Don't hinder the traffic flow; if someone wants to get by, let them instead of making them trail you too closely.
  • Follow the speed limit when conditions permit.
  • Use your rearview and side mirrors to help you plan ahead for your next move.
  • If you have the ambition to become a better driver than you currently are, consider enrolling in a defensive driving course.
