Drink-drive deaths account for one in six road deaths every year. Consequently, car accident compensation claims often revolve around accidents caused by drivers who are over the limit.
In 2010, a couple from Harrow made a £300,000 car accident compensation claim after a drunk-driver crashed into them on a motorway. The couple both suffered head and neck injuries as well as post-traumatic stress disorder after they were hit by an Audi being driven the wrong way along the M69 motorway.
The car accident, which happened in April 2007, has prevented the pair from returning to their jobs as directors of a healthcare company as well as carrying out their favourite pastimes and day-to-day activities.
They made a claim against the drunk driver for negligently driving the wrong way along the motorway, being drunk and failing to see their oncoming car. Their claim also says that he exposed them to a foreseeable risk of injury for failing to maintain continuous concentration.
The couple's claim was heard at a civil court where the couple hoped to be awarded the full £300,000 they initially claimed for. The outcome of the case was not immediately reported.
Drink driving is a growing problem in the UK. According to the Department for Transport, the drink-death toll on Britain's roads in 2008 was 430 compared with 410 in 2007. More needs to be done to ensure that this problem does not escalate out of control and cause an even greater rise in car accident compensation claims for victims of drink-drive crashes.
