How Can a Los Angeles Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer Help?

Recovering from a DUI crash isn’t just about healing your body; it’s about reclaiming your future. That’s where a skilled drunk driving accident lawyer comes in. We gather critical evidence like accident reports, toxicology results, witness statements, and surveillance footage before they can disappear. We identify all responsible parties, including the driver and any businesses or social hosts who contributed to the dangerous situation.

Our attorneys build strong cases that account for the full extent of your medical bills, lost income, emotional trauma, and future needs, pushing back against insurance companies that want to minimize your claim. Using our decades of courtroom experience, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial to fight for every dollar you deserve. We are a team of fierce advocates who understand what you’re going through and know how to help you emerge stronger on the other side.

DUI Injury Cases: Criminal vs. Civil Actions

A drunk driver can face two very different battles after a crash:

• Criminal prosecution—brought by the State of California to punish the offender (not to compensate you); and
• Civil personal injury claim—brought by the victim to recover damages for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.

It’s important to know you do not have to wait for the criminal DUI case to finish before pursuing a civil claim. You have the right to seek compensation immediately, and our DUI accident law firm is ready to move fast to protect your interests.

How Does a Drunk Driver Accident Attorney Prove Negligence?

Holding a drunk driver accountable is more complicated than it seems, and that’s why having a knowledgeable accident attorney is critical. To succeed, you must show:

• The driver owed you a legal duty to operate their vehicle safely;
• They breached that duty by driving under the influence;
• Their breach directly caused your accident and injuries; and
• You suffered real, measurable damages as a result.

Because California law treats DUI as negligence per se, it gives your case an advantage, but only if properly argued. A skilled lawyer must still gather, present, and connect the evidence to the full scope of your losses.

At the Law Offices of Steers & Associates, we combine deep legal knowledge with aggressive courtroom skills to prove negligence and fight for everything you deserve. Our successful track record shows we know how to win these cases, and we’re ready to do the same for you.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a DUI Accident?

Depending on the facts, more than one party could share liability when a DUI crash occurs. A skilled Los Angeles DUI injury attorney can conduct a thorough investigation to identify everyone who contributed to the dangerous situation. Parties who may be held accountable include:

• The driver;
• Bars, restaurants, and clubs that overserved an intoxicated customer under dram shop liability;
• Social hosts who provided alcohol to underage or already intoxicated guests; and
• Employers, if the drunk driver was working or using a company vehicle during the crash.

Our attorneys know how to connect the dots between negligent actions and the harm you suffered. We leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding all potential sources of compensation, ensuring you have every opportunity to recover the full value of your claim.

What Damages Can a Drunk Driver Accident Attorney Help Me Recover?

A drunk driver accident attorney at the Law Offices of Steers & Associates will work tirelessly to ensure you pursue every form of damages you are entitled to, including:

• Medical expenses for past, ongoing, and future treatment;
• Lost wages and diminished future earning capacity due to injury;
• Pain and suffering from physical and emotional trauma;
• Emotional distress from the mental toll a serious crash can cause;
• Permanent disability or disfigurement impacting your quality of life;
• Loss of enjoyment of life if your injuries prevent you from living as you once did; and
• Wrongful death damages if the tragedy claimed a loved one.

In addition to these compensatory damages, our attorneys carefully evaluate whether your case qualifies for punitive damages. California law allows for punitive damages when a defendant is “guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice,” such as knowingly choosing to drive under the influence.

While punitive damages can significantly increase your recovery, insurance policies often exclude them. Luckily, we’re not interested in quick settlements that leave you struggling later. We fight for the full financial recovery you need to heal, rebuild, and reclaim your future with strength and dignity.

A recent review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was in an accident where my car was totaled. At first, I thought I could handle things by myself but then my pain began to get much worse. I hired Allen based on the recommendation of a friend and he did not disappoint. He was very fast in answering my calls and emails. He also got me the maximum settlement from the other person’s insurance and then got me compensation from my insurance too. – James
