The use and abuse of alcohol is one of the main factors in many wrongful death cases. Most of these types of alcohol related wrongful death cases involve a drunken driving accident.
Alcohol can impair the reasoning and reaction time of an individual. This slowed reaction time and compromised judgment could lead to a series of events that can cause a serious accident.
Although an individual may not intend for an accident to occur, their actions leading up to the accident makes them responsible.
