National statistics prove that Super Bowl Sunday is a dangerous day to be driving.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly half of the fatal accidents that occurred from kickoff through early Monday morning involved a drunk or intoxicated driver. This same data also found that drivers or motorcyclists involved in these fatal accidents had a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or more. The NHTSA also found that men were more likely to drive while intoxicated and not wear their seatbelts than women.

These statistics are based on the figures for the 2008 Super Bowl weekend, but you can be sure that plenty of people drove while intoxicated this year as well. If you or someone you love was injured or killed in a  car accident caused by an alcohol-impaired driver this Super Bowl weekend, you should speak with a knowledgeable  Santa Clarita personal injury attorney about your legal options. As a victim of a drunk driving accident, you stand to recover compensation for your pain and suffering, mental anguish, medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and decreased quality of life.
