Waco DWI Victim Lawyers
The decision to get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle after an individual has consumed alcohol or another substance that could potentially inhibit his or her ability to drive is foolish, reckless, and illegal. Regrettably, however, it is a choice that too many people willingly make. Car accidents are an unintended but inevitable consequence of these actions. Because the intoxicated driver’s negligence is likely the proximate cause of a collision, he or she may face a civil lawsuit in addition to any applicable criminal penalties.
If you have been injured in an automobile accident that was caused by another person’s decision to drive while intoxicated, then we can help you pursue financial compensation for your medical bills and other damages incurred by the collision. Contact the Waco DUI/DWI victim lawyers of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842 to learn more about your rights.
Consequences of Driving While Intoxicated
Occasionally a television news program will air a story in which a reporter attempts to drive a vehicle on a closed course while wearing equipment that is supposed to simulate the effects of alcohol consumption. But rarely do these stories ever directly address the nature of the physical impairments that result from compromised sobriety. Effects of intoxication that can significantly alter an individual’s ability to drive safely include:
- Delayed reaction time
- Inability to properly gauge speed, braking distance, and turning radius
- Increased distractibility
- Lack of awareness and focus on roadway and traffic conditions
- Impaired judgment
