The number of alcohol-related injuries caused by drunk drivers continues to plague Vancouver. Over the last five years, there has been almost no reduction in the amount of DUI accidents and injuries.<\/p>\n
The annual average hovers at more than 1,000 drunk driving victims and upwards of 50 avoidable deaths in British Columbia<\/a> alone, according to Road Safety BC. Across Canada, those numbers leap to more than a 1,000 tragic fatalities and thousands of debilitating personal injuries. Although drivers in a\u00a0<\/span>Vancouver car accident<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for their criminal behaviour, that will do little to offset the personal injury losses to you and your family members.<\/p>\n It would be fundamentally unfair for you and your loved ones to suffer a loss due to a drunk driver\u2019s lawless and reckless behaviour. That\u2019s why it\u2019s imperative that you contact an experienced\u00a0<\/span>drunk driving accident lawyer<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>who is prepared to get you the full, fair compensation you and your loved ones deserve. At Diamond & Diamond<\/a>, we\u2019re ready to file a civil lawsuit on your behalf and hold that drunk driver\u2019s feet to the fire.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t In a\u00a0<\/span>Vancouver drunk driving acciden<\/a>t<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>case, the intoxicated party is often identified when they fail a breathalyzer examination. Canada\u2019s standard blood alcohol limit stands at .08, and anything at or above that level is considered DUI. By filing a civil lawsuit on your behalf, our team of experienced drunk driving professionals can secure a fair compensation settlement in two ways.<\/p>\n Although a failed breathalyzer test serves as a convincing reason to seek compensation through a civil lawsuit, some drivers under the influence try to avoid criminal prosecution and responsibility for your loss. It\u2019s not uncommon for careless drivers to knowingly get behind the wheel after drinking and then refuse a breathalyzer test after getting caught at the scene.<\/p>\n An experienced\u00a0<\/span>Vancouver car accident lawyer<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>from Diamond & Diamond won\u2019t let the party responsible for the harm done to you off the hook that easily. We will pursue the peace officer\u2019s report and other evidence pointing to impaired driving. Civil lawsuits are decided based on a preponderance of the evidence, and we\u2019re prepared to go to court if necessary.<\/p>\n\t\n\t\t\t Act quickly if you see someone who appears to be inebriated while driving. Take note of the license number, color, make, and model oof the vehicle, and the direction it is heading to. Then, pull over and call 911. Give the local authorities the details you gathered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n If a drunk driver\u2019s carelessness has harmed you or a loved one, it would be wrong to suffer your losses without being fully, and rightfully compensated. Drunk driving remains a crime that plagues our communities and only determined action can curb this behaviour. Call Diamond & Diamond anytime day or night, 1-800-567-4878<\/a>, and get the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The number of alcohol-related injuries caused by drunk drivers continues to plague Vancouver.
