Rights For Passengers After A Drunk Driving Collision
Drunk driving collisions are never accidents because in every case, somebody made the choice to drive drunk.
Fortunately. this incident did not result in any fatalities, and the driver did not strike any other vehicles or pedestrians before crashing.
The victims from this crash do include two passengers whose condition was not revealed by reporting other than the fact that they required hospitalization after the crash.
For these victims, their rights as passengers are no different than they would be if they were in another vehicle or pedestrians, outside of a few very narrow exceptions.
Drivers have a duty of due care to everyone on the road including the passengers in their own vehicle and as such when a crash is caused by a driver, their passengers.
