It may sound strange but it is true.  Every injury and death that occurs due to Driving under the influence could be prevented.  In fact alcohol impaired driving is one of the greatest problems that modern transportation systems face. The tragic consequences of drunken driving cause loss of several lives annually.

Statistics reveal that drivers having lower level of blood alcohol contents are less prone to fatal accidents than those who have more of the BAC levels.  On average the blood alcohol level of injured drunken drivers has been estimated at 16.1.  The risk of death or physical impairments is 385 times higher in case of such drivers as per the survey conducted by the Insurance Institute for the Highway Safety.

Most of the high BAC drivers are male in the age group of 25-35.  Many of them have previous conviction records and this is one of the largest social problems plaguing many developed and developing countries.

While DUI or sobriety courts are performing to reduce the levels of Alcohol & Driving throughout the country, many authorities are thinking in terms of other deterrents to address this growing threat. One of the possible steps could be automatic license revocation and confiscation of license plates.  An extreme measure could be vehicle impoundment or immobilization.

However, when you face such cases and litigations, your immediate requirements will be a lawyer who could put forth your case most appropriately.  Especially in case you were not overtly responsible for the accident, such lawyer could come up handy.
