A DUI accident (Driving Under the Influence accident) is a traffic collision caused by an individual operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription medications, or over-the-counter drugs. Legally, it occurs when a driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) meets or exceeds the legal limit (typically 0.08% in most US states) or when chemical testing proves substance impairment, transforming a standard traffic crash into a criminal offense.
