A police officer responding to a drunk driving car accidentDrunk driving is an ongoing problem in the State of California, as more than 30, 000 people are injured in our state each year. Drunk driving is defined by law as driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) measured at 0.08% or above.

Secure Financial Compensation for Your Drunk Driving Accident

Drunk drivers will certainly face criminal charges for driving under the influence. While the criminal justice system will handle that aspect to ensure that a drunk driver receives the appropriate penalties, it will not provide for the victims in the matter. This is why our Sacramento car accident lawyers are here to represent those victims of drunk driving accidents and fight for rightful compensation.

Financial compensation may be used to cover the following:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages due to missing work
  • Rehabilitation and therapy
  • Property damage costs
  • Pain and suffering

To find out if you might be eligible to claim financial compensation for the accident, as well as any injuries that occurred from the incident. Because even at levels of intoxication lower than 0.08%, one’s cognitive as well as physical functions can be affected. This means that a driver can make a critical mistake or be negligent even if he or she is slightly intoxicated. This is what leads to serious drunk driving accidents and car accidents as a whole. Miller Injury Attorneys can investigate your accident to discern the facts and find the root of the matter.

Local Resources and Support for Drunk Driving Accident Victims in Sacramento

Living in Sacramento, we understand the unique challenges our community faces when it comes to drunk driving accidents. The Sacramento Police Department and the California Highway Patrol are often the first responders to these tragic incidents, working tirelessly to ensure our roads are safe. However, the aftermath of a drunk driving accident can be overwhelming for victims and their families.

One of the significant pain points for Sacramento residents is navigating the complex legal and medical systems after an accident. With local hospitals like UC Davis Medical Center and Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, providing critical care, the financial burden of medical bills can quickly escalate. Additionally, dealing with lost wages and the need for ongoing rehabilitation can add to the stress.

At Miller Injury Attorneys, we are deeply familiar with the Sacramento area and the specific needs of our community. We know that local government entities, such as the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office, play a crucial role in prosecuting drunk drivers, but they do not address the victims' financial and emotional recovery. This is where we step in to help you secure the compensation you deserve.

We understand the local traffic patterns, common accident hotspots, and the impact these incidents have on our community.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

  • They were like family.

    “They were like family, understanding my concerns and worries.”

    Jen S.

  • I put my trust in John Miller and took all of his advice.

    “I contacted John Miller for help after trying to negotiate with two parties that had created a nightmare for me in my home purchase. From the very initial contact, John was knowledgeable of the different legal aspects involved. John let me know from the start that this could be a long process to resolve. I appreciated John's honesty and that John made no false promises. John negotiated settlements for me that allowed me to be made "whole". This was something I could never have been able to do on my own. I put my trust in John Miller and took all of his advice. I have also had the opportunity to get to know John and found him to be a very caring man, who wants to help people. I highly recommend him to anyone searching for an attorney to represent them. He was a Godsend to me. Barbara”

  • He took our case when other attorneys walked away.

    “We needed Atty. Miller's help. He took our case when other attorneys walked away. We're very grateful.”

  • I LOVE JOHN MILLER AND HIS STAFF

    “One of the main reasons why I love John Miller and his staff, especially Shannon, is because of the way they treat you. They treat you like human beings. I have not been able to find a law team that would take my case even with all my evidence... because I am low rent. John Miller and Shannon were the only ones who didn't treat me like I'm cheap and that I deserve all of these things just because of the fact of me being poor. They are always updating you on your case and keeps you abreast to all moving parts of the lawsuit. I hope this never happens to you or your family members, as all of mine have been affected, but if it does it's GREAT TO SEE AND KNOW THEY HAVE YOUR BACK and that you are working with people who REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOUR GOING THRU!!!!”

    S. Rausin

Calm, professional & SO understanding of my situation. I will never go anywhere else for legal matters. John is kind & courteous while Shannon is super hands on, willing to put in the work.”
