DRUNK DRIVERS
Driving under the influence", or "Driving while intoxicated", is the
term for alcohol-related driving behavior. It is responsible for nearly
1/3 of all traffic deaths in this country. Many of these impaired drivers
are repeat offenders. Drunk drivers cause a heavy burden of death and/or
injury to themselves and to innocent drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
Anyone who causes an accident while driving under the influence of
alcohol or another substance is considered negligent. Unfortunately,
this is of little comfort to someone who has sustained injuries or lost
a loved one in an alcohol-related accident. The driver convicted of
DUI is responsible to pay for all damages, but may not be the only person
considered negligent or liable. Those who provided the alcohol may also
be considered negligent and liable for damages. Many states have laws
which impose liability on bars, clubs, restaurants, or hotels which
supply liquor improperly. In such cases, a business is expected to exercise
due care and not to serve anyone who is obviously drunk. Even someone
outside of such a business may incur liability for supplying liquor
to a driver or providing the car the drunk driver was using. The host
of a party may be liable in some states if he continues to allow a guest
to imbibe after it is obvious the guest is under the influence.
