Drunk Driving Accidents
Turlock Car Accident Attorneys
Drunk driving is a serious crime, but the criminal justice system doesn't always demand recompense for serious injuries. If you or someone you love was hit by a drunk driver, you have the right to seek compensation for your financial and noneconomic damages. At Habbas & Associates, we believe that drunk drivers should be held responsible for their actions, especially if their negligence leads to injury or death.

Why file a lawsuit against a drunk driver?
If you suffered an injury, you can face property damage and medical expenses. If you lost a loved one, you could be left dealing with unpaid medical bills and funerary expenses, not to mention the pain and suffering of losing a loved one. A criminal case may not address these financial and noneconomic issues. Through a personal injury / wrongful death lawsuit, you can seek compensation for:
- Hospitalization
- Missed Wages
- Physical Therapy
- Wrongful Death
- Funerary Expenses
- Emotional Damages
DUI and Driver Negligence
In order to file a successful personal injury lawsuit, you must demonstrate that the liable party acted negligently. According to the law, negligence is loosely defined as the "failure to excursive care or caution." Drunk driving is not only illegal, but can place other drivers at the risk of injury or death. Thus, drunk driving can constitute negligent driving in a personal injury lawsuit or claim.
