California Drunk Driving Accident Victim Lawyers

by Mike Bomberger
(California)

Drinking and driving is a careless and reckless choice that puts everyone on the road at risk. When drivers get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the consequences can be devastating.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) every day 32 people die in the United States in traffic accidents involving an alcohol-impaired driver. Nearly one-third of all traffic accident fatalities are alcohol-related.

Drunk driving is a form of negligence. In addition to criminal charges for drunk driving, drivers who cause injuries or deaths in alcohol-related accidents may be held liable in a personal injury or wrongful death claim.

Types of DUI accidents vary widely, and may include solo vehicle collisions with parked cars, trees, or buildings, wrong-way head-on collisions on major freeways, and collisions with bicyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists. Victims of DUI accidents may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other damages.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an alcohol-related car accident, contact an experienced and knowledgeable California drunk driving injury lawyer.

An attorney can help you hold whoever is responsible for your injuries or loved one's death accountable. Especially in drunk driving accidents, time is of the essence. Contact an attorney soon after a crash so that evidence can be preserved and the extent of your injuries can be documented.

Most personal injury attorneys handling drunk driving victim cases handle claims on a contingency fee basis. This means your attorney is paid a percentage portion of the settlement, and not an hourly rate.
