When a woman in Denver, Colorado recently went out with friends, she did the responsible thing and called a cab to take her home after she had a few alcoholic beverages. Unfortunately, on her way home, a drunk driver struck the cab she was riding in, breaking both her legs.
This painful accident has since prevented the young woman from moving to another state to pursue a new career. She must undergo surgery to fix her legs, placing an incredible amount of hardship on her and her family.
Drunk driving accidents are terrible, and the driver that caused the injuries should be held responsible. In addition to the criminal charges the drunk driver will most likely face, another way that drunk drivers can be held responsible is through a personal injury lawsuit.
