Harm caused by Drunk Drivers
When you say South Florida you think "Sun-Sea-Sand" and obviously the numerous bars that cover the coastline from South beach to West Palm. As an Attorney practicing in South Florida we have come across numerous car accident and personal injury cases where our clients are the victims of drunk drivers. Driving under the influence as we all know can cause serious harm to yourself and anyone else on the road.
I recently visited MADD’s website whilst I was researching Drunk Driving for my blogs and found lots of information pertaining to the new campaign, which I will be covering in my upcoming blogs. Statistics don’t lie and Florida in 2009 had 2,558 road fatalities due to drunk drivers we were rated 3 in the United States with California at the top with 3,081.
As stated on their website local law enforcement will be extremely visible on the roads in order to catch drunk drivers, it will also discourage intoxicated drivers from getting behind the wheel drunk and causing personal injury to other drivers on the roadways. Ignition Interlocking Devices or breathalyzers installed the car is another step that MADD and the Government which I will cover in my following blog, and lastly using today’s technology along with the car industry to assist in protecting the driver by failing to operate if the driver if found to be impaired, I will also cover in another blog.
The three components that are listed above I will cover more in my future blogs.
