Impaired Drivers More Likely To Speed

We want to start this article off saying this – impaired drivers are more likely to cause injury or fatal vehicle crashes. Drivers impaired by alcohol are more likely to operate at high speeds and often do not slow down before they impact another vehicle, Motorcycle, Bicyclist, or Pedestrian.

During the latest reporting year in New Jersey, there were over 270,000 vehicle crashes. Out of those, over 61,000 injuries and 624 fatalities.

  • In 158 of the 591 fatal crashes, driving while intoxicated was listed as the major contributing factor.
  • 174 lives were claimed in these crashes.

Injuries from these crashes can be severe. We commonly see the following in the aftermath of alcohol-involved crashes:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries/head injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries/paralysis
  • Internal organ damage/internal bleeding
  • Broken or dislocated bones
  • Severe lacerations or Amputations

The cost of care for these crash victims can become tremendous. We commonly see victims of the spinal cord and brain injuries with emergency Medical Bills reaching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. These expenses do not include other hidden costs, things like lost income if the victim cannot work or emotional and psychological damages.

What We Know About This DUI Case

In many cases, a DWI crash will become a criminal case. This can be in conjunction with a civil personal injury case filed by a victim against the person who caused their injuries.

We also want to point out that New Jersey has dram shop and liquor laws that allow a person to file a lawsuit against anyone who served a person alcohol and that person then caused someone else harms if:

  • They served or sold alcohol to a person who was visibly intoxicated
  • They served or sold alcohol to someone who was under 21 years of age
