If you have been injured in a drunk driving accident it is important to contact a Los Angeles drunk driving accident attorney to discuss your rights and help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
In drunk driving accidents, drivers may face two separate legal proceedings - one in the criminal court system and one in the civil court. Here, the driver will face criminal charges - he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving with bodily injury. He has one prior DUI conviction in 2005.
He may also be sued for civil damages as a result of the injuries occurred by the victim. Not only may DUI victims suffer serious physical injuries but their families may also incur significant economic losses as the result of time of work to heal from their injuries and a potentially diminished future earning capacity. It may be possible to recover compensation for these losses including medical bills, economic losses, physical pain and suffering, as well as mental anguish.
