DRUNK DRIVING Drunk driving is a violent crime that accounts for more forty percent of traffic fatalities in the United States. More than 300,000 innocent victims are injured in auto accidents involving drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs. Perpetrators who cause serious injury while Driving Under the Influence (DUI) face felony charges in Washington State. People who choose to drink and drive put themselves and others at risk for injury and death. Innocent people are injured and killed in senseless car accidents with drunk drivers every day. Offenders are often more concerned with arrest than the trauma, physical pain, emotional suffering and devastation to innocent victims and their family members they have caused. More than half of drivers arrested for drunk driving are repeat offenders, while two-thirds of drivers with suspended licenses still drive. As of July 2004, every state and the District of Columbia make it a crime to drive with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above 0.08%. This is the equivalent of a 150 pound person consuming three alcoholic drinks in a one hour period. Inflicting serious injury while driving under the influence (DUI) is a felony in Washington State and an alcohol or drug-impaired driver who causes an auto accident can be sued for negligence by the victim or a family member of a deceased victim. THOSE WHO PROVIDED THE ALCOHOL MAY ALSO BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES, making a business liable for providing alcohol to a driver who later injures or kills someone in a drunk driving accident.
