Murrieta Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers

Riverside County Attorneys For DUI Victims

One poor decision can have devastating consequences. Innocent victims often suffer the consequences of the decisions made by drunk drivers. Drunk driving is a serious and dangerous problem that leads to thousands of deaths each year. 

When drivers make the reckless decision to get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or taking drugs, serious injuries may be suffered, and lives may even be lost. After a drunk driver causes an accident, it is important for the driver to be held accountable for their actions and the injuries they have caused. 

The skilled personal injury lawyers at Maineri Law Firm work with victims of drunk driving accidents to hold the at-fault drivers liable for their pain and suffering. With decades of experience representing victims, our attorneys understand the complexities of drunk driving cases, and we can fight to get you the compensation you deserve. 

Presumed Liability in Drunk Driver Accidents in California

It is common knowledge that driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is against the law and may be prosecuted as a misdemeanor or felony in the state of California. Unfortunately, this law continues to be broken by irresponsible drivers, and innocent victims often end up hurt. When accidents occur that involve a drunk driver, California law presumes the drunk driver was negligent and was responsible for causing the accident.

While this legal principle helps to protect the victims of drunk driving accidents, compensation for injured victims is not guaranteed. Presumed negligence, sometimes referred to as “negligence per se,” does not prevent the drunk driver’s insurance company from denying a claim or attempting to reduce the amount of coverage provided to victims. The driver’s insurer may delay payments, contest the severity of injuries, and even attempt to shift fault to the injured victims.

Maineri Law Firm is dedicated to obtaining the best possible outcome for victims and their families. If you have been harmed in an accident involving an impaired driver, we will work diligently on your behalf to pursue the compensation you deserve.
