Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers

In Wisconsin, and throughout the United States, drunk driving causes serious accidents, injuries, and death.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, every day, about 37 people die in drunk driving crashes. That’s one life lost every thirty-nine minutes. In 2021, there was a 14% increase in deaths caused by drunk drivers over the previous year.

Under Wisconsin law, a first-offense drunk driving incident is treated as a traffic ticket. But the civil penalties for causing injury while operating under the influence of alcohol are not dependent on the criminal-nature, or lack of criminal penalties, associated with the driving behavior itself.

There can be an extra emotional toll experienced by those injured by a drunk driver that may not exist following other types of car accidents. You can hold drunk drivers accountable for the injuries, pain, and suffering they have caused you and your family by calling Weiss Law Office, S.C..
