Drinking and Driving with Children in Kansas City Puts Their Lives in Danger

Drunk driving accidents are not uncommon in Kansas and Missouri.  Unfortunately, its also not uncommon to have a fatality result from a drunk driving accident.  It is even more unfortunate when that fatality victim is a child-- A toddler was killed and three other children were seriously injured in a car accident near 75th Street in Chicago, Illinois.  Reports from the scene say that the accident was caused when the driver of an Oldsmobile Cutlass lost control and slammed into a guard rail. Chicago Police believe alcohol was a factor in the wreck.

As experienced Kansas City Drunk Driving Accident and Injury Attorneys we encourage you to think of others, if not yourself when you are drinking. Just keep in mind you aren't the only one at risk if you are drinking and driving. Find a designated driver when you are going to be drinking and when you drink, drink responsibly. Sadly, children can be affected by drunk drivers if they are unfortunate enough to be in a car on the road at the same time. Hopefully if you've been drinking, you know better than to drive, especially with your kids in the car with you. Fate isn't going to protect you because they are there. Think smart.
