COLUMBUS, OH, January 08, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ohio has taken a strong stance against impaired driving with the passage of "Liv's Law," which increases penalties and fines for individuals convicted of driving under the influence or aggravated vehicular homicide. The legislation, named after a young victim of a drunk driving crash, reflects the state's commitment to reducing preventable road tragedies.

The team at Brenner Law Offices notes that the tougher penalties introduced by Liv's Law are designed to deter repeat offenders and bring justice to families impacted by reckless behavior. The firm's Ohio DUI accident lawyers emphasize that stronger sentencing guidelines can also influence how insurance companies handle related injury and wrongful death claims.

"Liv's Law sends a clear message that drunk and impaired driving will not be tolerated," said a Brenner Law Offices spokesperson. "As advocates for accident victims, we support reforms that prioritize safety and hold negligent drivers fully responsible."

The law includes longer license suspensions, higher fines, and expanded sentencing options for offenders with prior DUI convictions. For victims and their families, this means more consistent accountability and recognition of the devastating consequences of impaired driving.
