Attorney Serving Clients Injured in DUI Accidents in San Jose, CA

Drunk driving accidents cause a staggering amount of harm to people and families in the United States on an annual basis.

People who are involved in accidents with drunk drivers may experience physical injuries and emotional trauma, and they may never fully recover.

We will make sure you take the correct steps to recover compensation to address your medical expenses, the income you have lost, and the pain and suffering you and your family have experienced.

Compensation Is Available to Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of auto accidents in the United States. Despite severe criminal penalties for driving under the influence (DUI), many people continue to drink and drive. When a drunk driver's actions cause serious injuries, they may be required to pay for the expenses associated with an accident. Because drunk driving is an unlawful act, accident victims may be able to obtain punitive damages in addition to receiving payments to address their economic and non-economic damages.

Alcohol and Drugs Can Play a Role in Multiple Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents
