Drugged Driving

Drugged Driving Accident Lawyers in Ohio

In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, impaired driving dangers have expanded beyond alcohol to include drugged driving, encompassing both illegal drugs and the misuse of prescription medications. Drugged driving shatters lives. At Goldberg Legal, we are acutely aware of the severe impact of drugged driving accidents and are committed to piecing them back together, advocating fiercely for victims and their families.

Understanding the Current Landscape of Drugged Driving

Drugged driving, defined as operating a vehicle with measurable amounts of drugs in the driver’s system, has seen a worrying increase. These substances impair essential driving skills such as perception, judgment, motor control, and memory.

Recent data underscores the urgency of addressing this issue:

• Rising Incidence: A 2021 NHTSA study indicated that 56% of drivers involved in serious injury or fatal crashes tested positive for at least one drug.
• Prescription Medications: The misuse of prescription medications has become a significant factor, with opioids and benzodiazepines being frequently detected among drivers involved in accidents.
• Youth Impact: A 2022 survey revealed that nearly one in five high school seniors admitted to driving under the influence of marijuana within the past month.

These figures highlight the increasing prevalence of drugged driving and the critical need for effective prevention and enforcement strategies.

The Growing Impact of Drugged Driving

Drugged driving is a pressing public safety and health issue. The NHTSA’s 2022 data shows a marked increase in drug-related traffic fatalities, with young drivers disproportionately affected:

• Youthful Drivers at Risk: Over 25% of drivers under 25 involved in fatal accidents tested positive for drugs.
• Polydrug Use: There is a significant rise in cases involving drivers using multiple drugs, complicating the effects and increasing the risk of severe accidents.
