Drunk Driving Accidents

Campbell Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

Injured By a Drunk Driver in Campbell?

Unfortunately, in the United States, impaired and drunk driving are the cause of hundreds of thousands of fatalities every year. Although various campaigns and organizations, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), seek to end drunk driving, countless people still choose to act carelessly and get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated, making the roads dangerous for innocent victims.

Sadly, when a car accident involving a drunk driver occurs, the results are often devastating and, in the worst cases, fatal. DUI victims and their family members may be eligible to file personal injury lawsuits against at-fault drivers, which can allow them to collect monetary compensation for their losses and suffering.

Drunk driving accident victims may be eligible to pursue compensation for the following:

  • Physical pain
  • Emotional suffering
  • Medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of property

We can examine the details of your case and determine which legal strategies can help you obtain a successful outcome in as little time as possible.
