Injured by a Drunk Driver in Los Angeles? We'll Fight for Your Recovery

## 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](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV&sectionNum=1714.).

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](https://www.ots.ca.gov/media-and-research/crash-rankings-results/?wpv_view_count=1327&wpv-wpcf-year=2021&wpv-wpcf-city_county=Los+Angeles&wpv_filter_submit=Submit) 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.

### What Compensation Do You Deserve After a Drunk Driving Accident in Los Angeles?

After a drunk driving accident, you may have a strong claim for compensation for your injuries and the disruption the accident caused to your life.

**You may be able to recover the following:**

- **Medical Expenses:** Ambulance transportation, emergency room treatment, hospitalization, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and ongoing or future medical needs.
- **Lost Wages:** Lost income and future lost earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or earning the same income.
- **Pain and Suffering:** Physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, and the impact the accident has had on your quality of life.
- **Property Damage:** The cost of vehicle repairs or replacement.

In cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct, the court may award punitive damages to punish the drunk driver and serve as a warning to others.

## FAQ

FAQs

Unfortunately, many drivers in Los Angeles are uninsured or underinsured. If we can’t recover full compensation from the drunk driver’s insurance company, our team will explore other avenues.

For example, you might have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own auto insurance policy. We can help you file a claim with your insurance company to recover compensation for your injuries and losses.

In some cases, we can pursue a personal injury lawsuit against the drunk driver. This may be a good option if that person has significant financial resources. Through the lawsuit, we can directly seek compensation from their personal assets.

- What if the drunk driver was uninsured or underinsured?

Even if you were a passenger in the drunk driver's car, you still have the right to file a claim against the intoxicated driver. Passengers have a right to expect a safe ride, and the driver has a legal duty to operate the vehicle safely. We can discuss your legal options, including pursuing compensation from the driver's insurance company.

- What if I was a passenger in the drunk driver's car?

A DUI conviction in criminal court can be valuable evidence in your civil case. It helps establish the driver's negligence and strengthens your claim. We will use all available evidence, including criminal court records, police reports, and witness testimony, to build a compelling case for your compensation.

- What if the drunk driver was convicted of DUI in criminal court?

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit after a drunk driving accident is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, there may be exceptions to this deadline, such as if you were a minor at the time of the accident.

It's crucial to consult with a drunk driving accident attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights and understand the applicable deadlines in your case.

- How long do I have to file a claim after a drunk driving accident?
