LEGAL TIPS

DUI Driving Drunk :
But the law was changed and changed again - strengthened, in fact, to be less tolerant of multiple convictions. But a provision that stipulated four convictions in five years was inadvertently left in. The high court indicated that it had little choice. It could not consider seven convictions in 15 years as constituting four in five years.

Wrongful Death is the Unlawful Taking of a Life Through Wanton, Negligent, or Careless Conduct.

Wrongful Death

In life, the deaths of loved ones are inevitable. While death is unavoidable, the death of a family member can be almost impossible for the surviving family members to deal with if the death was due to the carelessness of another. Alabama law explains "wrongful death" as a lawsuit that a representative of the deceased can pursue against the person or persons who caused the injury and death of the deceased.

At Richardson Law Offices, we make it a priority to address the financial needs of a deceased's surviving family in order to help the family cope with the loss of their loved one and continue their lives. If your loved one has been killed due to the wrongful act of another, contact Richardson Law Offices today. There is no charge for the consultation, and you will not pay an attorney's fee unless we collect for you.

DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
Alabama DUI Priority :
Under the Alabama drunk-driving law, it seems the first three convictions are treated as misdemeanors, for which the guilty can go to jail for up to a year. However, a fourth conviction is a felony, which can draw a sentence of up to 10 years in jail.

US DUI Match? :
The USA has one of the worst DUI driving accident rates in the developed world while having lower to mid-range rates of alcohol consumption.

DUI Blood Alcohol Content :
BAC is most conveniently measured as a simple percent of alcohol in the blood by weight. It does not depend on any units of measurement. In Europe it is usually expressed as milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. However, 100 milliliters of blood weighs essentially the same as 100 milliliters of water, which weighs precisely 100 grams. Thus, for all practical purposes, this is the same as the simple dimensionless BAC measured as a percent. Since 2002 it has been illegal in all 50 US states to drive with a BAC that is 0.08% or higher.
