Cases Against Drunk Drivers
According to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2003, 17,013 people were
killed by drunk drivers. Over 500,000 people are maimed or injured
by drunk drivers every year. This means that approximately 59 people
per hour, or one person every single minute of every day, is injured
by a drunk driver.
It is a well-known fact that the
consumption of alcohol significantly hampers judgment and reasoning
ability. It also impairs small-muscle control, which in turn
negatively impacts coordination, vision and a host of other things.
Signs of impairment caused by alcohol can appear after just one
or two drinks, but

|
when a person consumes large amounts of
alcohol and then attempts to drive a car, poor vision,
coordination and judgment can lead to disastrous results.
Alcohol is a factor in an amazing 26
percent of all accidents in Arizona. Blake Law Firm aggressively
handles these cases for two main reasons. First, we take these
cases in order to help the victims and victims' families who have
been injured or harmed by the recklessness of a drunk driver.
Secondly, we feel we are working to make the roads safer. When
serious consequences result from drunk driving, people are less
likely to get behind the wheel after they have been drinking.
