How Does Alcohol Affect a Person's Driving?

Alcohol impairs the brain’s ability to think clearly, make decisions, and control muscles—critical skills for safe driving. After consumption, alcohol is absorbed through the stomach and small intestine, enters the bloodstream, and is processed by the liver. The higher a person’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC), the more severely their driving ability is affected.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), here are the effects of various BAC levels:

  • .02 BAC: Slight loss of judgment, relaxation, mild decline in visual function, and reduced ability to multitask.
  • .05 BAC: Decreased coordination, impaired judgment, lower alertness, and difficulty steering or tracking moving objects.
  • .08 BAC: Impaired muscle coordination, short-term memory loss, poor speed control, and reduced reasoning.
  • .10 BAC: Slower reaction times, slurred speech, delayed thinking, and trouble maintaining lane position.
  • .15 BAC: Significant loss of muscle control, vomiting, severe balance issues, and significant impairment in attention, vehicle control, and sensory processing.

What Types of Compensation Can I Pursue in a Drunk Driving Case?

Each case is unique, and our drunk driving accident attorney in Salinas evaluates the full scope of your losses to claim appropriate compensation.

Compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage

If the drunk driving accident resulted in death, you can pursue damages such as funeral and burial costs, loss of companionship, loss of employment benefits, and more. We strive to comprehensively present your case to pursue the justice and financial recovery you deserve, based on the specifics of Salinas jurisdictions and regulations.
