Bakersfield Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

Drunk driving accidents are some of the most tragic because they are the result of someone else’s poor choice and they often result in severe injuries and/or death. Not only do they instantly change the lives of the victims, but the drunk driver’s life is also adversely impacted in many cases by way of criminal prosecution, fines and jail time. Every day at least one person is killed in a drunk driving accident and someone is injured in a drunk driving accident every two minutes. In addition, drunk driving accidents cost the United States $199 billion per year.

For those injured in a drunk driving accident, a personal injury lawsuit is likely the only means by which compensation may be obtained. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be available for certain types of economic loss, including past and future medical expenses, past and future lost earnings, lost earning capacity and loss of ability to provide household services. In addition, compensation may be available for certain types of noneconomic loss such as past and future physical pain, mental suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, physical impairment, inconvenience, grief, anxiety and humiliation. Finally, punitive damages are sometimes obtainable in drunk driving accidents.
