Maximize Your Claim: How Our DUI Accident Attorneys Can Help

Drunk driving accidents often involve complicated legal issues. An experienced attorney can help in several ways:

  • Investigate the Accident: We can thoroughly investigate the accident to gather crucial evidence that proves the other party's negligence.
  • Handle Insurance Companies: We can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
  • File a Lawsuit: If necessary, we can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.

Understanding Injuries from DUI Accidents

Victims of drunk driving accidents often suffer severe injuries, including:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): High-impact collisions can lead to concussions, contusions, or more severe TBIs, affecting cognitive function and quality of life.

  • Spinal Cord Injuries: The force of a collision can cause spinal cord damage, resulting in paralysis or other debilitating conditions.

  • Broken Bones and Fractures: Victims may suffer fractures and broken bones due to the impact of the accident.

  • Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma can cause internal injuries to organs, leading to serious health complications.

  • Emotional Distress: The psychological impact of a drunk driving accident can be profound, causing anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

These injuries can lead to significant medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Identifying Liable Parties After a DUI Accident

According to California law, multiple parties could be held liable for your injuries in a drunk driving accident:

  • The drunk driver: They are usually the primary party responsible.
  • Bars and restaurants: Under California's Dram Shop Laws, establishments that serve alcohol to obviously intoxicated patrons can be held liable.
  • Social hosts: Individuals who serve alcohol to minors who then cause an accident can be held liable.
