PASSENGER INJURED OR KILLED IN DRUNK DRIVER CAR ACCIDENT
Valley News recently reported that a man from Robbinsdale, Minnesota was killed on Saturday after the vehicle he was driving rolled. The Cass County Sheriff received a report of a crash on County Road 5 around 8:00 p.m.Responders and Deputies arrived to find a 2006 Subaru that left the road and rolled.
The driver was found dead at the scene. The crash remains under investigation with the assistance of the Minnesota State Patrol. Fortunately, there were no passengers in the car at the time of the accident and no other cars were involved.
The report does not say that the man who rolled his car was drunk at the time. However, our attorneys have found alcohol plays a part in many accidents like this, particularly on a Saturday night.
In most cases, where a drunk driver injures himself in a crash, there are limited legal claims.For example, the drunk driver is still entitled to No-Fault benefits. In addition, in a case where the drunk driver is killed in a car accident, the family may have a claim against a bar that illegally over served him.
