Filing a Civil Lawsuit in California
In California, more than 30,000 people are injured in alcohol or drug-related traffic accidents every year. While drunk drivers can be brought to justice in criminal court, this does nothing to compensate the victims of these devastating car accidents. This is why the civil court system allows victims of drunk driving accidents to pursue monetary compensation for the financial, physical, and emotional damages that a negligent driver has caused.
If the person who caused your car accident is charged with driving under the influence (DUI), the outcome of their criminal proceedings will be entirely separate from your civil case. Although a criminal conviction could help your civil case, the drunk driver does not have to be found guilty of DUI in order for you to pursue a personal injury claim. For this reason, we encourage you to discuss your options with a lawyer at Biren Law Group today.
Biren Law Group may be able to help you seek damages for:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income
- Rehabilitation costs
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
Other Parties That May Be Liable
When it comes to drunk driving accidents, there may be more than one liable party. While any person who makes the decision to drive while intoxicated is clearly negligent, it is also true that the bartender or establishment that over-served them and then allowed them to get behind the wheel could also be liable. Similarly, a trucking company that knowingly hired a truck driver with a drug or alcohol problem could also be held accountable.
