  • Teens Are Driving While Impaired

A study done by Liberty Mutual Insurance and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) showed that teens are relaxing their attitudes about driving while under the influence. Nearly 20 percent of teens admitted to driving under the influence of marijuana and 13 percent of teens report driving under the influence of alcohol.

If you have been injured in a car accident contact one of our skilled car accident attorneys today for a free legal consultation.

According to USA Today, Liberty Mutual and SADD conducted the survey last year with 2,300 11th- and 12th– graders to gauge their attitudes and feelings about driving while impaired. Only 70 percent of teens believed that driving while high on marijuana was “distracting” to their driving, this is down 8 percent from 2009. Among teens that said they had driven while high, 36 percent said that marijuana was not a distraction to their driving.

The survey’s findings show a “a dangerous trend toward the acceptance of marijuana and other substances compared to our study of teens conducted just two years ago,” says Stephen Wallace, senior adviser for Policy, Research, and Education at SADD.

Numerous accidents are caused every year by impaired drivers, these accidents can lead to severe injuries and the deaths of innocent people. If you or a loved one has been involved in accident due to another driver being under the influence, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit.

    • I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!
