Las Vegas DUI Accident Attorney

Every day in the USA nearly 30 people die in accidents involving alcohol-impaired drivers. That equates to one person dying at the hands of a drunk driver every 51 minutes.  Being involved in any accident is potentially going to be physically and psychologically damaging, however being involved in a DUI related accident can often leave the victims and their families with a lot of unanswered questions, because of the senseless decision of someone to drive while they are drunk.

Before being able to move on with their lives, these types of accident victims need to seek professional medical help to recover from both the physical and psychological effects. This can be both time-consuming and expensive, so financial compensation is going to help tremendously and is often the only way that victims can be fully treated.

If someone is careless and thoughtless enough to get behind a wheel, while knowing they’ve drunk more alcohol than they should, then you can also bet they will try to wriggle out of their responsibilities when an accident happens. This could be in the form of trying to flee the scene of the accident or even lying to make it seem that the accident wasn’t their fault. If you are involved in an auto accident, regardless of whether or not you think the other driver is driving while under the influence of alcohol (or drugs), you should always call the police. Not only because this will satisfy the requirements of your insurance company, but also if the other driver is determined to be drunk, you could actually be saving the lives of others by stopping them from immediately operating that vehicle.
