Two of the defining characteristics of inebriated individuals are impaired judgment and significantly slowed response times. But it is not only inebriated drivers who are impaired. In fact, numerous studies support the idea that texting while driving is at least as dangerous, if not more dangerous than drunk driving.

Thorough & Compassionate Representation

When it comes to driving, these factors can become absolutely devastating. At Christopher C. Vader PC, we are passionate about using the experience we have gained from over 25 years of practicing law to hold drunk drivers accountable for their actions and help you secure fair compensation for the pain and anguish you have experienced. Now we are leaders in pushing to see that that innocent text is no different from alcohol ingestion and that those would text and drive must be held to account just as an intoxicated driver. We want to help you move forward with your life in the aftermath of this tragedy. To speak to a Palm Springs drunk driving accident attorney, call (760) 537-4457.

Commitment to Your Cause

We understand that no amount of money can entirely make up for the anguish of being a victim of a drunk driving car accident. However, we are dedicated to helping you recover the maximum amount of financial compensation permitted by law. After the physical and emotional trauma you have experienced, we are prepared to do everything in our power to help you. Impaired drivers can be held accountable via several different means, which may include:

Criminal litigation: Brings about legal justice for the drunk driver responsible, but does not provide reparations to the victim
Civil litigation: Allows for financial compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering
Punitive damages: If the driver was legally intoxicated (BAC level of .08 or higher), punitive damages allow for a significantly larger amount of compensation to be received to further compensate you and punish the culprit

How can I prove that the other driver was impaired in my accident case?

Proving that the other driver was impaired in your accident case can involve several steps. First, gather evidence from the scene, such as photographs, witness statements, and police reports that indicate the driver was under the influence. If the driver was arrested for DUI, this can serve as strong evidence. Additionally, medical records showing your injuries and any related expenses can help establish the impact of the accident on your life.

What types of compensation can I receive from a civil lawsuit against an impaired driver?

In a civil lawsuit against an impaired driver, you may be entitled to various types of compensation. This can include reimbursement for medical expenses related to your injuries, compensation for lost wages if you were unable to work, and damages for property damage incurred during the accident. Additionally, you may seek compensation for pain and suffering, which accounts for the emotional and physical distress caused by the accident. If the driver was legally intoxicated, punitive damages may also be available, which serve to punish the driver and deter similar behavior in the future.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after an accident with an impaired driver in California?

In California, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit after an accident with an impaired driver is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions that can affect this timeline, such as if the injured party was a minor or if the driver was a government employee. It is crucial to consult with a legal professional as soon as possible to ensure that you meet all necessary deadlines and preserve your right to seek compensation for your injuries and damages.
