DUI injury accidents are caused by many different intoxicants here in Mission Viejo and across California. Orange County accident statistics clearly demonstrate the risk of suffering injury in a DUI related accident. If the driver who is responsible for the accident seems a bit disoriented make sure to tell the police at the scene. This can help their investigation at the scene.
While alcohol is still the primary intoxicant in many DUI accidents there are many other substances which can impair an Orange County driver. Drivers can also be driving under the influence of other substances such as narcotics and illegal drugs. An increasing number of local DUI accidents are associated with prescription medications and even over-the-counter drugs.
These substances substantially affect a driver’s awareness and slow reaction times leading to a car accident. It doesn’t matter what substance is responsible for a DUI accident resulting in serious injuries or loss of life. The fact is the negligent driver was impaired and you have been left with the pain and suffering associated with your injuries, lost wages from missed work and an increasing stack of medical bills.
