You may take every precaution to protect yourself while traveling on Imperial County’s roads and highways, but when an intoxicated individual decides to get behind the wheel of a car, there is little that you can do to stop a tragic accident from occurring. Imperial County is home to several major highways, including Interstate 8 (I-8), State Route 7, State Route 78, State Route 86, State Route 98, State Route 111 and State Route 115. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), in 2000 there were 82 Imperial County alcohol-related traffic accidents that resulted in injury. In the same year, more than 25 percent of all traffic fatalities in Imperial County were alcohol-related.

Seeking Compensation for an Imperial County Drunk Driving Accident

Although no amount of money could ever replace a loved one or undo the harm caused by a catastrophic injury, monetary compensation can provide a financially secure future for victims. A personal injury lawsuit may yield compensation for victims’ hospital stays, rehabilitation, pharmaceuticals, lost earnings, disfigurement, loss of quality of life, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death lawsuits may provide the heirs of the deceased with burial expenses, funeral costs, loss of potential inheritance, loss of future earnings, final medical bills and compensation for loss of love, support, and care. An experienced El Centro car accident lawyer at the law firm of Estey Bomberger can help victims proceed smoothly with the claims process.

Imperial County DUI Accident Injuries

The Imperial County DUI accident lawyers have provided victims with compassionate and attentive representation in drunk driving claims related to all types of serious injuries, including:

Social Host Laws

In California, social host laws hold adults responsible for serving or providing alcohol to underage individuals while on their property. Several DUI accident studies report minors who drink are seven times more likely to be involved in a drunk driving auto accident than older drivers. If it is discovered that an adult provided alcohol to a minor prior to a DUI accident, the adult could be held liable for the accident and resulting injuries.
