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.

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

    “I feel so fortunate that John took my case. I will be forever grateful. I’m a single , working Mom with teenage boys which is stressful enough. We were living in horrible conditions in Redding Ca, landlord did nothing to remedy the issues, instead they retaliated. John was so professional , understanding and kind, We met at mediation about 6 weeks after he took me on as a client, he knew the bigger picture with me wasn’t about money, it was about people being treated Ike they are garbage and don’t deserve to live in a safe environment. John did get more money for us than original quote , but the best part he said he would send a letter to the other tenants and offer to help if they needed it. I can finally sleep at night. I feel like I made a great friend. Thank you so much.”
