Drunk driving statistics show that in 2007 there were approximately 13,000 fatalities in alcohol-related crashes in the U.S. That’s 31.7 percent of the total traffic fatalities for that year. In fact, for the past decade, alcohol has been a factor in between 39 and 41 percent of all crash fatalities each year. In short, close to half of all crash fatalities are due to drunk driving.

Victims or family members of those who have died may legally be entitled to compensation, often from insurance companies which cover vehicles and their owners involved in such car accidents. Even when a drunk driving accident is not fatal, people who are victims of such accidents can become physically handicapped, perhaps losing a vital body part or becoming paralyzed.

Some non-profit organizations in the U.S. are involved in assistance to those who are victims of a DUI accident. One such organization is Mothers Against Drunk Driving, or MADD, based in the Dallas suburb of Irving, Texas.

MADD favors education, victim assistance and advocacy. It also pursues stricter laws in a variety of areas, seeking stronger sanctions for DUI offenders. MADD also helps victims of drunk driving, strives to maintain a reasonable legal age for driving and mandates that alcohol “breathalyzer” tests be given to everyone involved in such driving, to measure their body’s alcohol content.

MADD has an eight-point plan, announced in 2002, involving the nation's effort to prevent impaired driving, increase strict enforcement for DWI and other offenses, enact various laws and otherwise control drunk driving.
