We Speak for the Injured. We Speak for Their Families.Personal Injury attorneyDUI | Drunk Driving This means that 35% - more than a third - of all driving fatalities in Florida are caused by drunk drivers. In fact, Florida ranks third in the nation in the highest number of drinking and driving fatalities, behind only Texas and California. Most of these deaths could have been avoided if the driver had chosen not to get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. In all 50 states, including Florida, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a crime punishable by law with penalties ranging from fines and suspension of license to imprisonment. In Florida, first and second DUI offenses are misdemeanors, while third and subsequent offenses are third-degree felonies. People are considered alcohol-impaired if they have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or greater. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, in 2008, 10,732 people were arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Florida. When an impaired driver gets behind the wheel, he jeopardizes his own life and the lives of innocent people.
