What Constitutes Drunk Driving in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma has several laws addressing drug and alcohol-related driving. These laws establish the standards by which a driver’s conduct is evaluated in personal injury claims. Key factors considered include the person’s blood concentration levels of drugs or alcohol exceeding legal limits. If a person voluntarily consumes alcohol to the extent that their ability to drive is impaired, endangering public health and safety, or if they violated Oklahoma’s drunk driving laws, they can be held liable for any injuries caused in a resulting accident.
Why You Need a Drunk Driving Accident Attorney
A person who fails to adhere to the standard of care by drunk driving can be held liable on the basis of negligence or negligence per se. To succeed on a claim for personal injuries after a drunk driving accident based on negligence, you must have evidence to prove:
- The driver owed you a duty of care
- The driver breached their duty of care
- The driver’s breach of duty caused your injury
- The driver’s breach was the proximate cause of your injury
- You suffered an actual injury
