Drunk Driving Accidents
Drunk drivers put everyone on the road at risk. Drunk drivers have impaired decision-making skills and decreased ability to react in the event of an emergency. They aren’t able to safely operate a vehicle. As a result, they should not get behind the wheel. The bartenders, waitresses, or hosts that continue to serve visibly intoxicated people may also be responsible when these drunk drivers hurt someone on the road or a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk.
