DUI Lawyers

If you are reading this article, then you surely know what DUI stands for. DUI stands for "Driving Under the Influence". Basically we talk about DUI when we deal with people who have been driving under influence of alcohol or any substance considered as drugs. DUI can be considered as a serious infraction which can have dramatic consequences for the driver, but also for the victims and population. In the US, it is said that each year half a million people are injured because of DUI accidents. Auto accidents are therefore quite frequent and therefore the amount of DUI lawyers, also called auto accident lawyers, has increased substantially in the last few years.

A DUI lawyer will be employed either by the driver to defend him, or by the victims of the auto accident. If ever you have a car crash where you have been driving under the influence of drugs or illegal substance, taking a DUI attorney is essential as this is the person who has the best knowledge of law and in particular about DUI cases. You can find a list of DUI lawyers here (per state).
