Factors that affect the absorption of alcohol

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Oct 18, 2019 | Drunk Driving Accidents

People in Virginia often say that, generally, it takes one to two drinks an hour to reach the driving BAC limit of .08. However, there are numerous factors that affect how the body absorbs alcohol, and two people who are even the same in gender and size may handle...

Two young people are dead after their car was hit by a young man who was allegedly drunk at the time of the accident. Though it happened in Florida, the family is from Virginia Beach. The wreck occurred in the early morning hours of Saturday, January 19. According to...

Convictions don’t stop many drunk drivers

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Dec 26, 2018 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News

Do you think that drunk drivers take those risks because they don't think they'll get caught? Do you assume that getting arrested and convicted would make them think about things in a new light and refuse to drive under the influence in the future? In a perfect world,...

Can parents prevent teen drunk driving?

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Dec 13, 2018 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News

Young teen drivers lack experience behind the wheel, which can increase their chances of being involved in a car accident. If they drink and drive, they become even more dangerous. They may become drowsy, unable to concentrate, prone to poor decisions and ultimately...

Can bars be held liable for over-serving?

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Nov 16, 2018 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News

A patron at a bar is clearly intoxicated. They can barely order their next drink coherently. The bartender still gives the patron two more beers before the bar closes down for the night. That person then goes outside, gets in their car and attempts to drive home. Not...

Alcohol slows down your nerve cells

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Oct 19, 2018 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News

Have you ever wondered why people say that alcohol, as a drug, is technically a depressant? Maybe it seems like just the opposite to you; people who have been drinking appear happy, expressive and talkative. The reason is that alcohol depresses your nerve cells,...

Why are the weekends so dangerous for drivers?

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Oct 5, 2018 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News

The weekends pose a much higher risk to drivers than the work week. A recent study that looked at the statistics from 2016 showed that 6,802 deaths happened on Saturday, 5,826 happened on Friday and 5,809 happened on Sunday. Those are the three deadliest days by a...

Alcohol helps trauma victims survive

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Aug 9, 2018 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News

Do you feel like you read about a startling amount of drunk driving accidents in which the drunk driver survives, and other people pass away from their injuries? Have you ever wondered how this happens? While every accident is different, researchers have actually...

Drivers could still be drunk the morning after going out

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Jul 24, 2018 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News

Imagine that a person always tries to avoid drunk driving. That means taking the bus or a cab -- or an Uber -- home from the bar. It means catching a ride home from a party. It means never getting behind the wheel after a night of drinking. However, imagine that this...

What should you do if you think another driver is drunk?

On Behalf of The Dickerson & Smith Law Group | Jul 13, 2018 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News

You're driving home from the late shift at work when you spot a car driving erratically. It keeps speeding up, slowing down and swerving from one side of the lane to the other. You quickly determine that the driver is likely drunk. What should you do now? You know...
