Despite the fact that driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal, DUI accidents continue to kill hundreds and injure thousands every year in California. Many victims of DUI accidents suffer life-changing injuries that result in permanent physical and mental disability. Recovery from injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, blunt trauma injuries, spinal cord injuries and multiple broken bone injuries can take months or even years. Along with the pain and suffering that accompany accidents, victims and their families may suffer financially as well. The San Bernardino County drunk driving accident victim lawyers at Estey Bomberger believe it is imperative that drunk drivers be held accountable. In addition to criminal charges, drunk drivers must also be financially responsible for their actions, and compensate victims for their injuries, including all medical care and treatment, lost earnings and income, loss of earning capacity, as well as pain and suffering.
