If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one in a car accident due to the other driver’s choice to drive drunk, you have our sympathy. An accident that may have been preventable adds layers of trauma to an already awful experience.
Our Lakeside drunk driving accident lawyers will fight by your side as you pursue justice and appropriate compensation for the losses you suffered. The personal injury lawyers with the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can handle your case from start to finish while you recover.
You May Receive Compensation For Various Losses From A Drunk Driving Car Accident
If you were in an accident caused by the negligence of a drunk driver, the police may determine that criminal charges are appropriate. If the driver is found guilty, this may lead to fines and possibly jail time, but you might not receive any compensation for your injuries or losses as a result of the criminal case.
Typically, to recover compensation for losses, you will need to file a claim or lawsuit for economic and non-economic losses.
Economic losses are those that cause a financial loss, such as:
- Medical expenses incurred immediately and anticipated in the future
- Loss of income due to injuries making it impossible to work until you recover, and loss of future income if the injuries make it impossible for you to ever work
- Expenses related to the repair or replacement of property loss
Non-economic losses don’t incur a financial cost but are losses, nonetheless, and may include:
- Pain and suffering you experience immediately from your injuries, and perhaps for months or years after
- Loss of companionship due to your injuries affecting your ability to engage in and sustain relationships
- Life-altering effects of disfigurement or disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
After reviewing your case with you, our attorneys will help you determine what a full and fair compensation settlement or judgment might look like. The details of your accident are unique, as is the amount of compensation you may receive for your losses.
How Our Attorneys Can Help With Your Lakeside Drunk Driving Car Accident Case
Our drunk-driving car accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine are invested in the lives and well-being of our clients. We don’t practice cookie-cutter law. We listen to you and work with you toward a solution that is best for you.
If the driver is found guilty of driving under the influence and is at fault for causing the accident that injured you or your loved one, the court will determine the driver’s punishment. That punishment may or may not include an order for the drunk driver to pay you restitution for your economic losses, although there will be no payment for your non-economic losses.
To ensure you recover full and fair compensation for all of your losses, you may have to file a claim against the drunk driver’s insurance or file a lawsuit. To support those filings, our attorneys may:
- Provide expert investigators to review the drunk driver’s hours prior to the accident, including where they drank, how much they drank, and even who served them, and delve into their driving and drinking history
- Collect official agency reports, statements from witnesses, and still and video images of the accident
- Note the road, lighting, and weather conditions at the time of the accident
