My brother was recently arrested after having an accident
due to drunk driving. While I in no way
condoned what he had done, I know what the average person might not know about
him. He is a good man, who did a bad
thing. I wanted to help him in some
way. I honestly knew little about the law
against drunk driving or what the consequences might be, so I decided to try to
get him a good drunk driving accident lawyer.
I knew I had a lot to learn, so I began to research. Here are the highlights about what I learned:

What is Drunk
Driving?
Drunk driving, by definition is: the operation of any motor
vehicle with a blood alcohol content that prevents the driver from operating
the vehicle safely. The laws concerning
drunk driving are state mandated and vary from state to state, but the legal
limits are generally accepted as being anywhere from .08 to .10 Blood Alcohol
level.
What Are the Laws
About Drunk Driving?
Drunk Driving is a serious offense with serious penalties
which depend, to a large degree, on whether it is a first offense or whether
you are a repeat or habitual offender. The
main aim of drunk driving punishments is preventing further offenses and
protecting innocent people from drunk drivers. Punishment can range from
misdemeanors to felonies, and can include the following:
·
Fines (even fines exceeding $500)
·
Jail time ranging from less than a year for
first offenders to more than a year for repeat offenders.
·
Probation
·
Revoking, suspending, or restricting driving
privileges.
·
Restitution payments to victims and/or punitive
damages
·
Criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors to
felonies
