The living nightmare caused by drunk drivers is the worst emotional roller coaster ride a victim will ever experience. Often the grief is overwhelming and just getting through each day is an accomplishment. Added to the grief, victim families must now deal with attending court. The legal system is a foreign place to most victims.
