Were you Injured in a Drunk Driving Accident?

Were you recently injured in a drunk driving accident in Wisconsin? Are you worried about what this will mean to your future? Rather than hope for the best, dealing with everything on your own, it is important to learn more about your legal rights.

Over the years, we have helped many people receive the compensation they deserve after being injured in a drunk driving accident. This is not a position you want to find yourself in, but if you do you can be rest assured that we are here to help.

Despite the fact that the number of drunk driving deaths is on the decline in most parts of the United States, nothing changes the fact that there will always be people who get behind the wheel after they have had too much to drink.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving has compiled some interesting statistics on this, showing that drinking and driving remains a big problem. Here are some of the more important stats:

“An average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before first arrest.”

This goes a long way in showing that people don’t drink and drive one time. Instead, they continue to do so, time and time again, before finally being caught.

“Every day in America, another 28 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes.”

Not only are thousands of people injured in drunk driving accidents every year, but a large number are killed as a result. If a loved one has been killed in such an accident, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.

“On average, two in three people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime.”

If you don’t believe you will ever be involved in a drunk driving accident, this statistic may change your mind once and for all.

Even if you are 100 percent sober, obeying all the rules of the road, you never know what those around you are doing.

If you or a loved one is involved in a drunk driving accident in Wisconsin, the time for getting help is now. Contact us to learn more about your rights and to receive advice on what you can do next.
