When a drunk driver gets behind the wheel, they show a shocking disregard for the safety of everyone else on the road, often causing devastating, high-impact collisions. Victims of these crashes frequently sustain severe and life-changing injuries, and they face complex emotional trauma knowing the accident was entirely preventable.
