When a drunk driving accident occurs many different lives can be changed drastically. Criminal and civil trials may even be involved in the case, and the numerous injuries can result in thousands of dollars in medical bills. There are also many parties who can be held accountable for the unfortunate accident caused by a DUI. In Arizona there are various laws that are strongly enforced in DUI cases. If you have been injured by a drunk driver, or you have been charged with a DUI, an Arizona personal injury attorney can help work out who is responsible and help award you compensation if you are the individual injured.
According to Arizona dram store laws, the restaurant, bar, or club can be held responsible for over serving a patron if the intoxicated driver caused a death or injury of another person. There have been cases where the bartender was well aware of the high intoxication level of an individual and continued to serve them. These establishments need to be brought to justice or DUI accidents will keep happening.
In Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale and Mesa there are high numbers of drunk driving accidents happening every year despite state legislation efforts to prevent them. Many serious injuries can occur when you or a loved one are a victim of a drunk driver.
