Intoxicated Driving

Over the years, Las Vegas has earned a reputation as a city where virtually anything goes and the testing of one’s capacity for excess is encouraged. While this results in the creation of lasting memories for some visitors, it also creates a culture in which some people act foolishly and recklessly. One of the unfortunate effects of this is that individuals feel like it is permissible to operate a motor vehicle while intoxicated, thereby exposing pedestrians, motorists, and the passengers of other cars and trucks to the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

If you have been injured in an accident caused by an alcohol or narcotic impaired driver, then you may be able to pursue financial compensation through a legal action against the negligent party.

Sources of Trouble

Though driving while under the influence of alcohol is universally frowned upon and the laws are strictly enforced, the decision to do so is still alarmingly common. The problem is aggravated throughout the Las Vegas valley by the presence of so many establishments that serve alcohol at all hours. Some of the contributing factors to the prevalence of intoxicated driving include:

• The lack of an official closing time means that there may be intoxicated drivers on the road at all hours
• In casinos and 24 hour restaurant/gaming establishments, drinks are often free or very cheap
• The proximity of casinos to the freeways creates the risk of high speed crashes
