A recent report by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) showed that only 61% of drunk drivers are convicted of their charges. The information in this report was collected from September 1, 2017 to September 1, 2018. The conviction rate is down 7 percent from the previous year.
MADD has staff and volunteers that regularly monitor judicial proceedings relating to drunk driving cases. Currently the program covers 12 states throughout the country, but that number is increasing to create a more accurate portrayal of the country’s data. The goal of this monitoring is to ensure drunk driving laws are being enforced and prosecuted. Those involved document information regarding each case, and find trends and weaknesses to report to prosecutors and judges. MADD’s goal is to send a message that driving drunk will not be tolerated.
Drunk driving is the #1 cause of fatal automobile accidents in Florida. In 2016-2017, there were almost 11,000 fatalities due alcohol-impaired drivers. Throughout the country, the average cost of a first-time DUI is around $10,000, but that does not deter people from getting behind the wheel and driving under the influence.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussions are two of the most common types of brain injuries caused by car accidents, impacting victims in various ways.

In my opinion, the practice of law is a very personal business. The practice of law within the area of personal injury is even more so, but all too often I hear horror stories from people I meet or who come to see me after they have hired another attorney. The stories you hear are […]
A catastrophic injury is one that has devastating impacts on a person’s life for years. In many cases, the impact may even last a lifetime. It could be due to a car accident, a truck accident, or for a number of other reasons. What makes things even worse is that, in many instances, the victim […]
Bias against cyclists is real. There’s a good chance you’re reading this because of that bias. The driver who hit you may have thought you should have been on the sidewalk, or you should have just moved out of their way. That motorist probably had no idea how defenseless riders are, but now you have […]
Motorcycle accidents are incredibly common, not only in Florida but the rest of the United States. The vast majority of riders follow all rules of the road, are courteous towards other motorists, and do everything they can to try to avoid being in an accident. But they still have to deal with the ridiculous reality […]
Any kind of truck accident can be horrible, of course, but an underride accident is particularly terrifying. As the name implies, it happens when a car slides underneath a truck, either from behind or from the side. As you can well expect, this often leads to severe injuries as well as deaths, because the top […]
