If you or someone you love was injured in a DWI-related accident caused by someone else’s drunk driving in New Jersey, the law is on your side. You may have the right to compensation from both your own insurance company and under the impaired driver’s insurance policy.
In New Jersey, it is illegal to drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs. With respect to alcohol-related crashes, a 0.08% blood alcohol content (BAC) reading is sufficient to establish that the driver was legally impaired. However, it is also illegal for someone to drive while impaired by drugs, including marijuana or prescription medications. Both alcohol and drugs can cause drowsiness.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs creates a hazard because:
Drunk driving, or DWI, can cause serious injuries and even death. Nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities are caused by drunk driving in the U.S.—despite the widespread enforcement of tough DWI laws. Serious DWI drunk driving accident injuries can also include:
Some of these injuries can result in lifelong challenges for the accident victim. They can require extended hospitalization, surgeries and ongoing physical and therapy and rehab. In extreme cases, DWI or drunk driving accident victims can require the need for home modifications and in-home care.

It is common for car accident victims to feel unsure about what, precisely, caused the accident. After all, accidents happen in a moment and it may seem that the other vehicle came out of nowhere.

The police are trained to evaluate whether the other driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

In some cases, yes. New Jersey dram shop laws prohibit bars and restaurants from serving customers who are visibly intoxicated. If the driver was a minor and was served alcohol in a bar or restaurant, the establishment may also be responsible. It is also necessary to show that the alcohol that the particular bar or restaurant served was the cause of the driver’s intoxication. In some cases, this liability can even extend to the host of a private party.
If law enforcement tested the driver and cited them for drunk or drugged driving, that information can be used to prove that the other driver was at fault for the accident. However, an arrest for drunk or drugged driving is not strictly necessary to prove you are entitled to financial compensation in a civil personal injury case. We can prove the driver was at fault using evidence such as:
– Eyewitness testimony (including your own) about the state of the driver at the scene – Testimony from others at a bar or restaurant showing that the driver was drinking before getting behind the wheel – Video surveillance that shows the driver swerving or otherwise exhibiting signs of drunk or drugged driving
