How Can a California DUI Injury Attorney Help?

Hiring an experienced California DUI injury lawyer immediately following a motor vehicle collision with an intoxicated driver can significantly increase your chances of a successful outcome to your case. At the Ibrahim Law Firm, our legal team has extensive experience handling complex drunk driving accident claims and knows what it takes to build a strong case that will prove liability and your demand for compensation. 

While you focus on recovering from your injuries, a DUI injury lawyer on our legal team can help by:

  • Returning to the scene of the accident to conduct an investigation
  • Gathering evidence that proves the other motorist was driving under the influence of alcohol
  • Speaking with witnesses and collecting statements 
  • Working closely with qualified experts who can testify on your behalf 
  • Handling all communication with the insurance company, including settlement negotiations
  • Filing a lawsuit on your behalf, if the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer
  • Representing you at trial

Your DUI injury lawyer will stay by your side, every step of the way, fighting for your right to fair compensation and holding the negligent driver and their insurance company accountable for the harm you have suffered.

How Much Is My Case Worth?

There’s no set amount of compensation available for drunk driving accidents. Instead, the total amount of compensation you can recover can vary and will depend on the facts related to your accident. 

Some factors that can affect the settlement or award you can recover after this type of accident include:

  • The extent of your injuries
  • The total medical treatment required
  • Whether or not you sustained a permanent disability
  • How much time you missed at work
  • The value of property damage
  • Whether you will be able to return to work at all
  • Your prognosis
  • How your injuries have impacted your life

The total compensation paid for this type of accident claim can range from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. An experienced DUI injury attorney at the Ibrahim Law Firm will use their resources to handle every aspect of your claim, working with medical and financial experts who can help accurately calculate your total losses and will provide this information to the insurance provider to ensure you pursue every penny of compensation you’re entitled to.

What To Do If You’ve Been in a Drunk Driving Accident

The following steps can help to protect your legal rights and your claim:

Contact the police

Contact law enforcement right away and report your suspicion that the other driver is intoxicated. Law enforcement will perform sobriety tests on the other driver, who will be arrested if they fail the field tests. Law enforcement can also contact emergency responders if anyone sustained injuries. When you speak with law enforcement do not admit fault and provide only the facts.

Gather evidence

Document everything the other driver does and says, write down their license plate number. Avoid interacting with them during this time. Take photos of all vehicles involved in the accident, the accident scene, and your injuries.

Obtain witness contact information

If anyone witnessed the accident obtain their name and contact information.

Seek medical attention

Even if you feel fine, you must have a medical evaluation as soon as possible after an accident. Some types of accident injuries do not present signs and symptoms for several days or hours after an accident.
