Have you been Victims of Distracted, Drunk & Drugged Driving?

There are around 300 to 400 car accidents every day in California. Majority of these accidents involve drunken driving, distracted driving or driving under the influence of drugs. If you have been in one such accident, you may be entitled to compensation. But, what do you have to do to receive the compensation for your injuries, and what exactly will you be compensated for?

Learn The Basics

When a car accident happens, at least one side is responsible for causing it. In some cases, both (or all parties involved) parties may be partially responsible. When these situations occur, the best solution is to seek help from a skilled and experienced Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyers. Simply give them a call, and schedule your initial free consultation. Our attorneys will gladly help you understand the situation you are in, as well as help you investigate the case and tell you who is responsible for causing the accident.

In case you are a victim and your driver was intoxicated, you should be aware of the “Zero Tolerance” rule. California does not tolerate drunken driving, and those who are pulled over for those reasons or involved in an accident will end up facing severe consequences, which may even involve prison or jail time.
Distracted Driving

As a victim, you are entitled to a compensation for:

Lost wages(both past and future lost wages due to your inability to work) – this is calculated based on your average weekly earnings in the past 6 months.

Medical expenses(if you paid for your medical expenses already, you will be fully compensated for everything, including treatments, ambulance fees, hospital stays, prescription drugs, and surgeries) – If you haven’t already paid for your medical expenses, the insurance company of the party at fault will have to take care of it.

Pain and Suffering –in most car accident cases, the person who is a victim is entitled to receive compensation for everything he or she suffered after the injury. This involves stress, traumas, and pain.

Consider Hiring An Attorney

The best decision you can make after an accident is to hire an attorney. You are going to need someone to help you evaluate your case and tell you how much you can get for your injuries, medical treatment, and damages done to your vehicle.

Our Personal Injury Attorneys in Los Angeles are more than capable of doing so. With just one phone call, you can schedule a free initial consultation and learn how you can receive a compensation for everything listed above.

The roads are filled with distracted drivers due to a high usage of cell phones. Texting and using a smartphone while driving a car can be a deadly combination. On the other hand, drinking and getting behind a wheel bears a high risk of death. As a driver, it is your responsibility to keep your eyes on the road, look out for any suspicious behavior on the road, and if you do notice anything unusual, either let them pass or pull over and call the police.
