What Are The Drunk Driving Laws In Alabama?
According to Alabama law, the state prohibits anyone from driving or being in physical control of a vehicle if:
- a person’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08% or more
- if a driver is under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or another type of impaired substance to a degree that renders the person’s incapability to safely operate the car
If the driver is operating a commercial vehicle, the BAC threshold is reduced to .04%. If the licensee is under the age of 21, it is considered unlawful for them to operate a vehicle with a BAC of .02% or more.
What Are Common Injuries From A Drunk Driving Collision?
Drunk driving crashes can result in extremely serious injuries, including:
- Spinal cord injury
- Traumatic brain injury
- Fractures and internal injuries.
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Neck stiffness and injuries
- Psychological injuries
Far too often, alcohol or drug-impaired drivers cause serious car accidents that result in wrongful death.
Recovering from a catastrophic injury is always challenging. The physical and psychological pain can be even harder to bear when you know that your suffering did not have to happen.
