In many cases, the owner of the car that allowed the drunk to drive the car can and should be held responsible for putting the keys in his hand. This is known as negligent entrustment. If you or a family member has been the victim of a drunk driver, talk to a DWI accident injury lawyer. Some of the worst automobile accidents are caused by drunk drivers.

Driving while intoxicated, (also known as DUI or driving under the influence) can be caused by many factors. The most common type of intoxication is caused by consumption of alcohol. However, drivers often become intoxicated through prescription and illegal drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, crack and other substances. Intoxication by any means can cause terrible accidents and injuries.
