St. Louis Drunk Driver Accident Attorney

Drunk Driver Accident Lawyer Serving St. Louis

Every year alcohol related crashes cost around $51 billion in the United States. Driving under the influence is extremely dangerous and is punished severely in each of the 50 states in order to deter drivers from putting themselves and the people around them at a serious risk. When a person attempts to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or over, he or she is breaking the law. With that much alcohol in the person’s bloodstream, the driver is much less able to maneuver safely and his or her judgment is most likely clouded and confused.

A car accident alone can create serious injuries, but a crash with a drunk driver can be so much worse due to increased speed, erratic driving, sleeping or unconsciousness, reckless driving and other dangerous tactics. Over 40% of all car accident fatalities are alcohol-related.
