Long Island Drunk Driving Accidents Need to Stop

Every week on Long Island, it seems another drunken driver is arrested. In just this past week, one drunk driver flipped his truck and drove through a home, nearly destroying it. Another crashed and landed in a creek off the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway. Many drunk driving accidents lead to serious injuries and, in worst cases, the death of innocent drivers, passengers and pedestrians.

The statistics for drunk driving in New York State have steadily gone done in the past 20 years, but they are still too high. In 2008, there were:

  • 320 fatal accidents in New York where at least one driver had a BAC of 0.08% or above
  • 341 people killed in New York in accidents where at least one driver had a BAC of 0.08% or above
  • 409 total deaths in New York where at least one driver had been drinking

We need to stay vigilant in passing and enforcing laws that crack down on intoxicated drivers and in spreading awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving.

That’s why Goldstein and Bashner works hard to make sure the victims get the compensation they deserve.
