At Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys, we work tirelessly to protect Kansas and Missouri pedestrians and motorists after they’ve become the victim of a serious injury accident with a drunk driver. Believe us, you never know when a dangerous drunk driver can become a threat. In New York last week, a three vehicle accident that caused by a drunk driver who slammed into two vehicles including a MTA bus. The force of the collision crashed the bus into the side wall of a McDonald’s Restaurant. There were no passengers aboard the bus at the time of the crash and no one inside the McDonald’s was injured.
However, the driver of the bus, a 51 year-old man; and the 27 year-old driver of the second vehicle were hospitalized with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
As experienced Kansas City Drunk Driving Injury Lawyers, we unfortunately see these types of accidents quite often. Motorists aren’t the only ones in danger of a drunk driver because there are no rules stating where a drunk driver is likely to lose control. This is a major reason why drunk driving is such a dangerous problem in Kansas and Missouri.
If you’re planning on going out for a drink and plan on driving, remember this– the penalties against drunk drivers in the state of Kansas is about to get a lot tougher. A new law is expected to pass that would require ALL drivers charged with DUI, beginning with a first offense– to get an interlock device on their car. Hopefully that alone is enough to get you to think twice before you drink an drive.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury in an accident in Kansas or Missouri, you may be entitled to compensation. Call experienced Kansas City Personal Injury Attorney James Roswold. With over 15 years of experience in Auto Injury Accidents, including Drunk Driving Injury cases, we may be able to help you and your family get through this difficult, emotional and stressful time.
