| 3 in 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol related crash in their lifetime. - NHTSA |
Since 1982, both the total number of traffic accident fatalities and alcohol related deaths have
steadily decreased in Illinois. In 2007, about 35% of traffic accident deaths in Illinois involved
alcohol impaired drivers. Illinois had 439 alcohol impaired traffic fatalities in 2007.
In 1998, Illinois lowered the legal limit for a driver's blood-alcohol content from 0.10 percent to 0.08
percent. Any person who now drives in Illinois with a BAC of .08 or more risks being charged with
Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI).
In Illinois, over 50,000 people per year are charged with some form of Driving Under the Influence
(DUI), whether brought as a local ordinance, misdemeanor, or felony count. And many of those
offenses stem from drivers being involved in traffic accidents.
While alcohol impairment is certainly correlated with traffic accident involvement, it is not
necessarily the cause of a given crash. In order to assign causality to any factor, such as alcohol
impairment, an expert reconstructionist must believe that absent the factor in question, the
accident would not have happened.
Very rarely will only one factor influence a traffic crash. In addition to impaired or negligent driving,
failures of equipment, such as tire blowouts, or environmental factors, such as icy roadways, may
also play a role in a collision.
Our accident reconstruction experts will thoroughly investigate all traffic crashes with the intention
of identifying all causal factors in a collision. When our investigation and reconstruction of the
accident is complete, our written expert opinions are presented in a clear and concise fashion.
