  • 40% of the U.S. population will be involved in an alcohol/drug related car crash
  • The danger of causing a FATAL car accident increases with every additional drink and, will prompt a wrongful death claim
What to Watch For
  • Drivers that are swerving, driving far below or above the speed limit and/or, generally failing to follow traffic rules

What to Do if a Drunk/High Driver Hits You

  • Gather witness(es) information (name, phone number, address)
  • Take pictures of your car, their car and, the surrounding areas

  • Mention your suspicions to the reporting officer and insist that that information be recorded in their report
