Drunk & Driving Accident Lawyer Calgary
Car accidents are stressful and frustrating when the driver who struck your vehicle had impaired capacity to drive as a result of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or psychotropic substances. Drivers impaired by alcohol may be more likely to violate other rules of the road, resulting in collisions with other vehicles.
All users of road owes a “duty of care” towards other users of the road. A person driving under influence (drugs or alcohol) would not respect its obligation of duty of care towards others, resulting in collision. The effects of this collision are often devastating. The survivors of car accidents caused by drunk drivers may sustain permanent catastrophic injuries as a result of drunk driving accidents. The effects of the injuries may impact the rest of a victim’s life and lead them to incur significant financial losses, all because of an irresponsible intoxicated driver.
