Parties and festivities often run until the wee hours of the morning. Unfortunately, many of these celebrations involve drinking. This is why New Year\u2019s Eve is one of the biggest nights of the year for drunk driving accidents and other<a href=\"\/personal-injury\/\"> types of injury accidents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Every New Year\u2019s Day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc15.com\/news\/national\/drunk-driving-statistics-new-years-eve\">drunk driving kills<\/a> an estimated 54 people. According to AAA, more pedestrians lose their lives on New Year\u2019s Day than on any other day of the year. This is largely due to the number of intoxicated drivers and pedestrians on the road.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to drunk driving accidents, people can suffer a serious injury after playing with fireworks or firearms. New Year\u2019s Eve is one of the biggest fireworks nights of the year. Defective fireworks and lack of safety preparations can result in significant injury.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, many people like to shoot guns during New Year\u2019s Eve celebration. However, stray bullets and accidental shootings can result in significant injuries and fatalities. A study by the CDC found that 80 percent of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policeone.com\/chiefs-sheriffs\/articles\/what-police-can-do-to-reduce-july-4th-celebratory-gunfire-8RSEhQ5bd63Qotfb\/\">celebratory gunfire injuries<\/a> occurred to the head, feet, and shoulders.<\/p>\n<h2>Steps to Take After a New Year\u2019s Eve Accident<\/h2>\n<p>If you suffer an injury on New Year\u2019s Eve, it is important to know what to do. The steps you take immediately after your accident will have a direct impact on the amount of compensation you can recover.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Seek medical help immediately.<\/strong> If you suffer an injury, even a minor one, it is important to seek medical attention. It is important to get your injury looked at and documented. If you decide to file an injury claim, these medical records will be an important part of your claim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Call the police.<\/strong> Drunk driving accidents or gunshots need police involvement. Call 911 or the police as soon as the accident occurs. A police report is an important component of an injury claim and can help establish liability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gather evidence.<\/strong> It is important to gather any evidence at the scene of the accident. This includes eyewitness contact information, as well as pictures of the scene. Document anything that may help your case, such as the position of the vehicles and crash damage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact a lawyer.<\/strong> In many cases, an experienced personal injury lawyer can help you recover the money you need after an accident. Insurance companies are not always willing to pay accident victims what they need and deserve. Your lawyer can fight for you and your rights to compensation after another person\u2019s negligence harms you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to remember that drunk driving accidents are criminal offenses. As such, the police will handle the criminal aspects of your case. They are not concerned with helping you achieve compensation. Their primary concern is to arrest the drunk driver and file the necessary criminal charges against them. That is why you need a personal injury lawyer on your side. Your lawyer will help you file a civil claim against the drunk driver to pay for the harm they have caused.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Our San Luis Obispo Personal Injury Lawyers<\/h3>\n<p>If you or someone you love suffered an <a href=\"\/auto-accidents\/san-luis-obispo-car-accident-lawyers\/\">injury in an accident<\/a>, we can help.
