The lack of responsibility of a drunk driver is the most appalling reason for someone to be hurt or even killed. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes were responsible for nearly 40% of all traffic deaths in this country in 2004. This percentage represents an average of one alcohol-related fatality every 31 minutes.

While the Colorado criminal justice system is equipped to handle the criminal aspects of a drunk driving charge resulting in a crash which injures other parties, it generally fails to address the heavy financial burden that the death and related medical and funeral expenses, or serious injury and medical expenses, place on innocent victims and families.

Despite Colorados tough drunk driving laws, many drivers do not take personal responsibility for their actions and continue to drive while intoxicated, even after being formally charged with the crime or are multiple offenders. Claims against these drunk drivers, in addition to criminal prosecution, will send the much-needed message that this behavior will not and can not be tolerated.
