When a person chooses to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they do so knowing they are putting the lives of innocent people in danger. The law prohibits people from driving drunk, but that doesn't stop hundreds, if not thousands of people, from driving while intoxicated on any given day. When these people cause an accident that results in serious injury or death, not only do they stand to face criminal charges, but they can also be sued for compensatory and punitive damages in civil court by the victim of the motorcycle accident.
