We’ll Fight For Your Compensation While You Recover

At Christopher C. Vader PC, we have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for clients injured in car accidents, including drunk driving cases. We have served as counsel in cases at the local, state, and federal levels. Our drunk driving accident lawyer, Christopher Vader, has been recognized as a Top Lawyer by Palm Springs Life magazine for multiple years running and is a proud recipient of The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 with a 10.0 rating on Avvo. We’ve helped many others receive the compensation they deserve and could help you achieve the most favorable outcome possible.

California Statute of Limitations

If a drunk driver has injured you or a loved one, it is essential to act quickly. California has a statute of limitations of two years from the date of the accident. The supporting evidence for your claim must be gathered and preserved before it is lost or destroyed. If you fail to file your claim within the time frame allowed by law, you lose your right to seek compensation.

Do I Need a Lawyer to Handle My Claim?

You can speak with the at-fault driver’s insurance company yourself, but you risk being offered far less than you would with the help of our car accident lawyer. Insurance companies are focused on profits and typically offer settlements much lower than a case of serious, catastrophic, or fatal injury warrants. With the assistance of our talented, experienced drunk driving accident lawyer in Palm Springs, you can be confident you have an advocate who will vigorously protect your best interests.

At Christopher C. Vader PC, we offer personalized service and can help you with critical actions, including the following:

Investigate the accident and gather evidence
