Orange County Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers
As DUI accident victim lawyers in Orange County, it is our job to help clients who have suffered because of the carelessness and recklessness of drunk drivers. Our clients – victims and survivors of those that have been killed – have only one opportunity to recover full and fair compensation. When our clients place their trust in our attorneys, we take that role very seriously. Our role as personal injury attorneys is to hold responsible parties fully accountable, whether that party is a drunk driver, an employer who turned a blind eye to drinking on the job, or an adult who thoughtlessly provided alcohol to a teenager and then let that teenager get behind the wheel.

Fighting to Protect Victims Rights and Prevent Alcohol-Involved Collisions
The Orange County DUI Victim lawyers at Estey Bomberger are dedicated to protecting the rights of victims and fostering change in our community. However, we know that no amount of compensation can make a permanent disability go away or bring back a loved one taken too soon. Many of the settlements we have obtained have also served to foster change, so that other people will not suffer the injustices our clients have suffered. At Estey Bomberger, we support Mothers Against Driving (MADD) and other organizations such as Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), Recording Artists, Actors and Athletes Against Drunk Driving (RADD), Remove Intoxicated Drivers (Rid) and the Century Council in all efforts to end drunk driving.
Maximum Compensation for DUI Victims
The case results we have won have helped our clients repair and rebuild their lives following avoidable and preventable tragedies. We have seen firsthand how injuries like traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries cause permanent disability and forever alter victims’ entire lives. While criminal courts enforce the law and punish drunk drivers, criminal punishment does nothing to compensate victims for the physical, emotional, and financial consequences of an accident. A civil claim can compensate victims for medical care and treatment expenses, lost earnings or wages, pain and suffering, and other DUI accident related damages.
