A Common ProblemDrivers between the ages of 16 and 19 are four times more likely per mile driven to get into a crash than older drivers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They are more likely to speed, tailgate, drive distracted and engage in other risky behaviors behind the wheel. Negligent driving among teens is a threat to everyone on the road. By holding teen drivers accountable for the harm they cause, we can shed light on an important safety issue affecting us all. We work to make the community safer for teen drivers and all of us who share the roads with them.
Drinking and Driving and Teen DriversA significant percentage of teen drivers who get into auto accidents have been drinking. Drinking and driving is dangerous behavior for drivers in any age group. When combined with a teen driver’s inexperience, alcohol and drug use is a major threat to safety on the roads. Our firm has extensive experience helping victims of drunk driving accidents. If you suspect that alcohol or drugs were a factor in your accident, we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
