The dangers of drunk driving are well known. Unfortunately, that still doesn’t prevent some drivers from getting behind the wheel after they’ve had several drinks. The driver may mistakenly believe that they’re capable of driving, but will then cause a collision.
Here are some other reasons why getting behind the wheel when intoxicated is so dangerous:
Drinking too much alcohol can impair a driver’s judgment. The more alcohol a person consumes the worse their decision-making skills will become. A driver often won’t make the same decisions when they’re sober. When a driver is behind the wheel when they’re intoxicated they may not be able to judge if they’re a safe distance from the vehicle in front of them.
To drive safely, clear vision is crucial. Consuming alcohol can result in poor control of eye movement and blurry vision. If the driver’s vision is poor, they may have a hard time seeing hazards on the road or other vehicles, which can significantly increase the risk of a collision.
When an intoxicated driver is behind the wheel, they’re not able to react quickly to changing road conditions. If they have had several drinks they may not be able to stop in time or maneuver their vehicle in challenging conditions.
Consuming alcohol can impact a driver’s hand, eye, and foot coordination. When a driver has poor coordination, they’re unable to safely operate their vehicle, putting everyone on the road at risk.
If an intoxicated driver gets behind the wheel, they’re more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle collision. A drunk driving accident can result in life-threatening or fatal injuries.

If you were injured in a motor vehicle collision that was caused by an intoxicated driver, you may be entitled to compensation. At the Ibrahim Law Firm, our DUI injury lawyers can help you fight for compensation that can cover the cost of your medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and more. We understand how devastating the aftermath of this type of accident can be and how frustrating it is to negotiate with an insurance company that refuses to pay you the settlement you’re owed. When you hire a member of our legal team, they can help by:
Even if the intoxicated driver is arrested at the scene, you must still file a claim with their insurance provider to recover compensation for your accident-related damages. The driver’s criminal trial is separate from your auto accident claim. Keep in mind that even if the driver is found guilty in court you must still prove that they acted negligently and that their negligence resulted in the accident and your injuries, in addition to your damages. When you work with an experienced DUI injury lawyer, they will thoroughly investigate your accident and gather evidence, such as the police report, arrest records, breathalyzer results, and other vital evidence that can strengthen your claim and prove the other driver was liable.
In California, you will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent driver. If you miss this important deadline, your case may be dismissed and you will be unable to pursue compensation for your accident-related losses. When you hire a DUI injury lawyer at the Ibrahim Law Firm, you can feel confident that your case will be handled correctly and filed within the statute of limitations.
The damages you’re entitled to will depend on the circumstances surrounding your case. This can include the severity of your injuries, the extent of vehicle damage, how much time you missed at work, and other variables.
In some cases, the victim of a drunk driving accident can recover compensation such as:
