Thousands of people are killed by drunk drivers each year. Drunk driving accidents are entirely preventable and only occur because a drunk driver makes the bad decision to get behind the wheel.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is offering bar and restaurant patrons in Denver's Lower Downtown district an alternative to driving drunk. They have opened a 30-car parking lot in LoDo in which patrons can park for free on Friday nights if they agree to leave their car there for the night and not pick it up until Saturday morning between 7 and 10am. This parking option will be available for the next few weeks. In addition to free parking drivers also receive a $20 voucher for a ride home a coupon for a free coffee and $2 off a breakfast sandwich.
When a loved one receives serious injuries or is killed because of the negligence of another driver families can have their lives turned upside down. Drunk driving accidents are entirely preventable and drivers should be held accountable for their negligence. A lawyer skilled in personal injury cases can help families who are going through these tragic circumstances. The attorney can investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident and determine who was at fault. Compensation is available for victims and their families for medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of wages, and other damages.
Drunk driving accidents in Colorado lead to many serious injuries and deaths each year. Holding these drivers accountable for these entirely preventable accidents is important in making sure they don't harm anyone else.
