Drunk Driving Accidents

The penalties for drunk driving are very severe because of the responsibility that a driver accepts when he or she gets behind the wheel. By applying for and receiving a driver's license, individuals are making a sort of promise that they will operate in a manner that promotes safety for themselves and others on the road. If they drink and get behind the wheel and onto the road, this is behaving negligently, and they will be held liable for such actions.

Arizona law takes drunk driving very seriously, and the base fine for a first-time DUI charge is $250. Drunk drivers who cause accidents that result in serious injuries or wrongful death will face even more severe punishment. If you or someone that is close to you has been involved in a drunk driving accident, you must get a powerful legal team on your side.

Here at Suzuki Law Offices, L.L.C., we believe that drunk drivers should not get away with their irresponsible actions. Arizona law states that anyone who drives with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or less is sober enough to drive. The truth of the matter is that more than 15,000 people are killed in drunk driving accidents every year, and close to 2,000 of these accidents involved drivers with a BAC of .08% or less. Anyone who drinks and gets behind the wheel, no matter how many drinks they have had, is putting themselves and others at risk.
