New Jersey Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers

Even though awareness regarding the risks of intoxicated driving has significantly increased in recent decades, drivers still continue to engage in this sort of dangerous behavior. Approximately 30 percent of all motor vehicle accidents in the United States involve alcohol. Statistics from 2009 indicate that there were 12,744 fatalities across the nation and 185 in the state of New Jersey caused by alcohol-related traffic accidents. When drivers choose to operate vehicles under the influence of alcohol, they are not only putting their own lives in jeopardy, but also the lives of everyone else on the road.

Alcohol severely impairs one’s ability to drive a motor vehicle safely. If you have been hurt by a driver who was intoxicated or under the influence, legal action may be available to you.
