How is negligence proven in a drunk driving crash? | Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp

Negligence is legally defined as the failure of a person to do something that a reasonable person would do or doing something that a reasonable person would not do. It is not enough to just show that the driver was drunk. An attorney must also show that the driver being drunk is what caused the accident and that the crash caused the victim’s injuries. This is why it is critical to contact an attorney right away so that they can quickly collect as much evidence as possible.
