Lives are forever altered by drunk-driving car accidents.

Sadly, many children are also injured and killed in DUI automobile accidents.  In 2004, out of all wrongful deaths of the children ages 14 and younger, 21 percent of them were due to DUI car accidents.

Our Carlsbad accident lawyers know that drunk-drivers often walk away from auto accidents without any significant injuries while innocent lives are lost.  Families are left to pick up the pieces of someone else’s mistake and nothing can ever bring the person who died back.  It’s always worse when a child is injured or killed in an auto accident.

In recent local San Diego car accident news, a nine-year old girl suffered fatal injuries which resulted in her untimely wrongful death after the car she was a passenger in was involved in a multi-vehicle car accident.  The driver of the car she was riding in was arrested on drunk-driving charges at the scene of the car crash.

Because this man decided to drink and then drive, an innocent child’s life was lost and another person who was driving in a different car involved in the accident was taken to the hospital with significant head injuries.

If you have a few cocktails, please do not drive.  There are so many other options for you to get home and resources designed to prevent DUIs.

Drunk-drivers need to be held accountable for their reckless actions because drunk-driving is one of the top causes of car accidents.  If you or a loved one have been involved in a drunk-driving car accident, hiring an experienced San Diego car accident lawyer can help ease any pain and suffering you and your family may be going through.
