Before 2020, South Carolina Ranked Third in the Nation for DUI Deaths
In an article published annually on the Safewise website, records show that South Carolina ranked as the second in the nation for DUI deaths in 2018. In 2019, the state ranked as third. This report found that 28% of all car accident deaths are caused by druck drivers.
Every day, about 28 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes. This value dropped in 2019 to 10,174 deaths. That's still more than three times as many people killed in the 9/11 Trade Center attacks.
What's terrifying is that more than 1.5 million drivers are arrested every year for driving while intoxicated. It’s one thing to get behind the wheel of a vehicle while impaired. But the person driving isn’t the only one to blame.
When any establishment serving alcohol puts the drinks in a customer's hands, they can be liable for damages, as well. Bars, clubs, hotels, and any other businesses that serves alcoholic beverages are expected to exercise “due care under the law.”
Even those who host parties and events where alcohol is served can be held responsible for those seriously injured by their attendees. If they knowingly served alcohol to anyone obviously intoxicated, they are considered to have taken part in the consequences.
These individuals can be responsible for Third Party Liability.
