Drunk driving causes many deaths every year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 29 people in the U.S. die every day in car accidents<\/a> that involve an alcohol-impaired driver, which is one death every 50 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Holidays where people tend to drink a lot can cause havoc on the road. St. Patrick\u2019s Day is particularly dangerous because for many people, the goal of the holiday is to get drunk. Then, they may make poor decisions like getting behind the wheel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you were involved in a St. Patrick\u2019s Day drunk driver accident and now you don\u2019t know what to do, don\u2019t fret, because there are crucial steps you can take to get the compensation you deserve.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Holiday Drunk Driving Statistics and Safety Tips for St. Patrick\u2019s Day<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

According to the latest statistics from 2014, Alabama experiences 312 alcohol-related traffic fatalities per year. Unfortunately, the state has the fifth highest rate of impaired driving deaths in the United States, with 5.5 deaths per 100,000 people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In order to avoid into a St. Patrick\u2019s Day drunk driver accident<\/a>, you can take a rideshare instead of driving or ask a friend to drive you if you\u2019ve been drinking. If you eat and drink water and only have one alcoholic drink per hour, you\u2019ll be much less likely to get drunk. Make sure you never leave your drink unattended, since someone could slip a drug into it and cause you to become much more impaired. If you\u2019re on medication that doesn\u2019t allow you to drink alcohol, don\u2019t mix the two. If a friend is drunk and wants to drive, you\u2019ll need to stop them from doing so. By keeping all these safety tips in mind, you will have an enjoyable and safe holiday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What to Do If You\u2019ve Been in a St. Patrick\u2019s Day Drunk Driver Accident<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As soon as you get into an accident, you need to call 911 to get immediate medical attention and to file a police report. Then, you should take photographs of your injuries and the damage to your car along with the other driver\u2019s car and license plate. Ask them for their insurance and contact information, and collect witness statements from anyone who saw what happened.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Immediately after gathering evidence, go to the hospital, even if you don\u2019t think you\u2019re injured. You\u2019ll need a full check-up including X-rays. Then, follow your doctor\u2019s treatment plan, which could include going to specialists and taking prescription medication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you\u2019re home from the hospital and you\u2019ve had a day or two to recover, call up a personal injury lawyer. They will negotiate with the defendant\u2019s insurance company to get you the proper compensation. Then, you won\u2019t have to worry about covering your medical bills and other damages out of pocket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How Drunk Driving Cases Are Different<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Drunk driving cases are not typical personal injury cases. There may be more than one defendant who is responsible for your injuries. For example, while the drunk driver is responsible, the bartender or party host who gave them too much alcohol could be as well. Additionally, if the drunk driver only hit you because they were swerving to avoid an object in the road, the accident may not be entirely their fault. If the driver was underage, an adult who served them alcohol may be at fault. The only way to know who was to blame is if you contact a personal injury lawyer like Andy Citrin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
