Drunk Driver Victims in Oakland

Oakland Injury Lawyer

As dedicated Oakland personal injury lawyers, we believe that drunk drivers should be held fully responsible for the accidents they cause. A drunk driving accident may cause serious injuries to an innocent victim or victims and may literally tear a family apart. It may cause a significant amount of physical pain and financial difficulties for the victim and may lead to lasting stress and psychological trauma. Fortunately victims of drunk drivers have the opportunity to seek legal recourse in the California civil justice system. A member of our skilled team can talk to you about filing a personal injury lawsuit against the drunk driver that caused your car accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident or other traffic-related accident.

Pursuing Compensation for Victims

To be successful in filing a personal injury suit against a drunk driver, your attorney will need to prove that the driver did something or failed to do something that therefore caused the accident to occur. As an example, a driver that ran through a red light and collided with your car while you were travelling legally through an intersection may be held liable in a drunk driving accident in Oakland. Not all accidents are this clear cut, however, and it may be necessary to work with accident reconstruction experts and other qualified professionals who can prove exactly what caused the accident.
