There are several variables to auto accidents, one of which is negligent and reckless driving. One of the most negligent forms of driving is that of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. DUI accidents occur so frequently that two out of every three people will be involved in an auto accident involving a drunken driver at some point during their lifetime. Drivers who commit the crime of DUI may face harsh consequences and should also be held accountable financially for the damages they have caused.
