DUI Victims in Los Angeles

Injured in a DUI Accident?

Unfortunately, DUI accidents are all too common in California, especially in the Los Angeles area. Over 1,000 people are killed in our state every year because of drunk drivers, and that number may increase as the number of new drivers continues to grow. If you have been victimized in a DUI accident, you have a variety of legal options at your disposal. It is your right to file a civil suit against the driver responsible, in an attempt to recover injury compensation. You can also file a claim with the driver's insurance company, who may award you a settlement to cover the costs of your accident related injuries. A Los Angeles attorney for DUI victims can pursue these options on your behalf, thereby maximizing your chances of a favorable result.

Our state imposes very harsh sentences on individuals convicted of DUI, whether those individuals are residents of the state or not. If you are visiting Los Angeles from out of state, or are a tourist from another country, you can face penalties that include fines and jail or prison time if you are arrested for DUI. In addition to those penalties, you may also face additional punishment from your home state if you live in the United States. Your state of residence may decide to suspend or revoke your drivers' license after a DUI conviction.
