New Yea Car Accident
The celebrations of New Year’s Eve are always an exciting conclusion to the year. Parties are held, lovers kiss, and New Year’s resolutions are made. Expectations always run high for the New Year and what it will bring for you and your family. Tragically a night that is supposed to be filled with celebrations can be turned upside down if you are involved in an automobile accident on your way home. Too many people’s celebrations spill out into the streets and where they eventually find themselves behind the wheel of their automobile and driving drunk.
Drunk driving accidents account for over 35% of all automobile accidents fatalities each year. In 2008, 1,198 Californians were killed in alcohol related accidents. Mothers Against Drunk Driving estimate that someone in America is killed by a drunk driver every 45 minutes and that three in every ten Americans will be involved in a alcohol related crash sometime during their lives. The figures are staggering, but the pain and loss from being involved in a drunk driving accident is even worse.
The legal aspects of being involved in a drunk driving accident are very complex. You need a professional who can navigate the court system, insurance companies, and other lawyers to ensure your rights are protected and you get the compensation you deserve. Ledger Law works with victims of automobile accidents everyday and can make sure you are receiving the medical care you need and the treatment you deserve. They work hard so you can begin the important process of recovery.
The victims of a drunk driver are entitled to compensation for their medical costs, lost wages due to missed work, payment for damage to their vehicle and/or personal property, and pain and suffering. Driving while intoxicated is a crime in California and you may be entitled to punitive damages in addition to payment for your medical bills and other accident related expenses. People who choose to drink and drive are breaking the laws of our state and willfully putting other Californians at risk. We will make sure you are compensated for their reckless judgement.
