Steps to follow after being hit by an impaired driver

Life is forever changed after an impaired driving crash. Victims/survivors are left bereaved, injured, and financially devastated. With emotional, financial, and legal matters, victims/survivors need support to confront the challenges that lie ahead.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) is an organization determined to make a difference in the lives of those victimized by impaired driving crashes. MADD's mission is to stop drunk driving, fight drugged driving, support victims of these violent crimes, and prevent underage drinking.

MADD offers free victim services to victims/survivors.

Some of you may be coping with the death of a loved one; others may be coping with the loss of function due to a life-altering injury.
