Aggressive Southern California
DUI Accident Injuries Attorneys

The prevalence of drunk driving in California may have decreased over the past few years, but the percentage of accidents still remains a big issue in road safety. Despite the efforts of advocacy groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), DUI accidents remain alarmingly high in the state. In 2011, 180,212 people were arrested for drunk driving in California.

Drunk driving also remains one of the main causes of motor vehicle-related fatalities in the state. More than 63 percent of automobile collision fatalities are caused by drunk drivers. This means more than 1,800 Californians are killed yearly by intoxicated drivers.

The Los Angeles DUI accident attorney at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas has the experience, passion, and resources to help DUI accident victims recover the full compensation they are entitled to under the law. We fight to make sure innocent victims are compensated for the selfish actions of DUI offenders.

California Law

Under California law, any individual who causes an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substances generally faces two types of litigation – criminal and civil. A drunk driver may face criminal charges and be sent to prison if found guilty of the crime. These criminal sanctions and punishments play an integral role in deterring alcohol-related accidents. Victims may also pursue civil action against the offending driver. This means that the victim can seek compensation from the negligent DUI motorist who caused the accident.

Sadly, civil liability may be of little comfort to those who have suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one in an alcohol-related accident. Although financial compensation may be of little comfort to DUI accident-related victims and their loved ones, it will help bring a sense of justice and closure. A motorist who is convicted of a DUI is liable to pay for all resulting damages.
