Driving Under the Influence, or “DUI,” is one of the leading causes of auto accidents in the United States. As a crime, DUI receives a great deal of public attention because people who drive under the influence not only put themselves at risk, but often cause catastrophic collisions and endanger the lives of innocent drivers, passengers and pedestrians. Yet, despite the attention given to the criminal aspect of DUI, many injured victims of DUI accidents are left with little recourse unless they hire their own experienced legal representation.
Are you the Victim of a Drunk Driver?
When a criminal is convicted of DUI (driving under the influence or ‘drunk driving’) in California, they may be punished, but the injured victims of the drunk driver usually receive little or no help from the criminal justice system. The fact that drunk drivers may be put in jail is of little help when victims are faced with medical bills, car rental fees, and property damage. Moreover, painful injuries often leave victims unable to return to work. Drunk driving is a an ongoing problem, and as Sacramento DUI injury attorneys, we work with our clients to obtain justice should they be injured in a DUI accident in Sacramento, Folsom, or El Dorado Hills.
