Holding Drunk Drivers Accountable:
Drunk driving is a serious crime that puts innocent lives at risk. Individuals who choose to operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs demonstrate a blatant disregard for the safety of others on the road. At Cohen & Marzban, our Los Angeles drunk driving accident attorneys believe in holding these individuals fully accountable for the harm they cause.
We are dedicated to fighting for the rights of victims injured by drunk drivers, pursuing justice on their behalf.
Our legal team will work diligently to:
- Gather Evidence: We’ll collect all necessary evidence to demonstrate the drunk driver's negligence.
- Establish Liability: We’ll establish the driver's liability by proving that their intoxicated driving was a direct cause of the accident and your injuries.
- Pursue Full Compensation: We’ll fight to secure the full compensation you deserve for all of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
- Hold Bars and Restaurants Accountable: If the driver was under 21, we may also file a claim against the bar or restaurant that served them under California's dram shop laws.
Our Los Angeles drunk driving accident lawyers are committed to seeking justice for victims and sending a clear message that drunk driving will not be tolerated.
Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents
Drunk driving accidents often result in severe injuries due to the high speeds and reckless behavior often involved. Some common injuries include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Head injuries can range from mild concussions to severe, disabling TBIs.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can result in paralysis, loss of sensation, and other debilitating conditions requiring ongoing care and support.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: The impact of a drunk driving accident can easily cause broken bones that require surgery, casts, and physical therapy.
- Internal Injuries: Internal organ damage and internal bleeding can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention, hospitalization, and surgery.
- Lacerations and Soft Tissue Injuries: Deep cuts, abrasions, and soft tissue injuries are common in drunk driving accidents and can lead to pain, scarring, and infection.
Every year, over 2,000 people are injured or killed in alcohol-related collisions in Los Angeles. These collisions can have long-lasting cognitive, physical, and emotional consequences. You deserve justice for the devastating results of a drunk driver’s negligent actions.
