The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

In April of this year, an Alabama man lost control of his vehicle and ran it off the road. He was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from his truck. This accident resulted in his death. Alcohol is suspected to be the cause of the car accident.

Fortunately, this man did not claim the lives of others as well. However, he certainly paid the ultimate price for drinking and driving. He lost his life due to his inability to judge his own intoxication level. Many car accidents are the cause of someone else's negligence. Other reasons for car accidents are:

• Defective products such as seat belts and tires
• Defective automobile
• Defective roads
• Inattentive drivers
• Intoxicated drivers
