Why is a DUI accident different than a standard auto accident?

Accidents involving DUI drivers can prove to be both emotionally and legally complex. Perhaps the most distinguishing factor is that fact that the driver who caused the accident did so while committing a crime, rather than just through mere negligence. It is very important for the victim and the family of a victim to be aware of their legal rights in pursuing a recovery for injuries caused at the hands of a DUI driver.
