Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue a drunk driver who hit me?▼
Yes, you can file a civil lawsuit against a drunk driver for your injuries and damages. This is separate from any criminal DUI charges they face. A civil case has a lower burden of proof (preponderance of evidence vs. beyond reasonable doubt), making it easier to recover compensation.
What is the average settlement for a drunk driving accident?▼
Drunk driving accident settlements typically range from $100,000 to several million dollars depending on injury severity. DUI cases often result in higher settlements due to the availability of punitive damages. Factors include medical expenses, lost wages, permanent disabilities, and pain and suffering.
Can I get punitive damages in a DUI accident case?▼
Yes, California allows punitive damages in DUI accident cases because drunk driving demonstrates "conscious disregard" for others' safety. Punitive damages are meant to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct. These can significantly increase your total compensation.
What is a dram shop claim?▼
A dram shop claim allows you to sue a bar, restaurant, or other establishment that served alcohol to someone who was visibly intoxicated or a minor, and that person then caused an accident. California has limited dram shop liability, primarily for serving minors.
Who pays if a drunk driver has no insurance?▼
If the drunk driver is uninsured, you may recover through your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. You may also pursue the driver's personal assets, or explore third-party liability against bars, employers, or vehicle owners. We investigate all possible sources of recovery.
Will a DUI conviction help my civil case?▼
A DUI conviction can be helpful but is not required to win your civil case. Civil cases have a lower burden of proof. However, a conviction can serve as evidence of negligence and may support punitive damages claims.
