Negligence and Driving Under the Influence

Anyone who causes an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is considered a negligent driver. The intoxicated driver may face civil penalties and criminal charges as a result of an incident, but for those who have been seriously injured or who have lost a loved, such injuries are life altering.

Drivers who have been convicted of DUI charges are liable for all damages, but may not be the only person considered negligent or liable.

Third Party Liability in DUI Accidents

Providing the alcohol that a drunk driver consumed may make another party liable for damages that a victim of a drunk driving accident sustained. Many states have laws that impose liability on bars, clubs, restaurants, or hotels that supply liquor improperly.

In this instance, a business is expected to exercise due care and should not continue to serve alcohol if a patron is visibly drunk. Individuals like homeowners who have parties may incur liability as well for supplying liquor to a driver who subsequently had an accident that injured or killed another.

Establishing Liability in a Drunk Driving Accident

In cases that involve drunk driving accidents, it is important to establish liability so that the at-fault party can be held responsible for any damages incurred as a result of the incident. If fault is disputed, and a driver does not want to admit fault, our attorneys can consult with a network of experts, including forensic analysts and accident reconstruction experts, to establish liability.
