In the United States the leading cause of auto accidents is driver intoxication. According to figures released by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), 17,013 people were killed in 2003 due to alcohol related crashes in the United States – an average of one every 30 minutes. This figure represents forty percent (40%) of the 42,643 total traffic deaths. MADD also reported that the highest incidence of drunk driving related fatalities occurred during the holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years Day.
If you or someone you know is experiencing TBI and you think that a third-party if liable for the TBI, the first thing you should do is speak with a qualified personal injury attorney. You should speak to an experienced personal injury attorney before negotiating with an insurance company, or the alleged liable party, and if you are considering filing a lawsuit. Brain injury cases raise a host of complex legal and medical issues, so it is imperative to speak to someone who is qualified and who has the expertise to protect your legal right to economic and noneconomic forms of compensation.
