Financial Support for Victims in Suspected DUI Accidents
Every accident is unique but one aspect of DUI accidents is certain: They will almost always lead to charges to a suspect. When it is time to determine liability, you can use police reports and charges as a way to try and prove your claim and who is at fault for your accident. If you can show that the suspected DUI driver is at fault for your collision, you may be eligible to receive damages in your claim. These could include any of the following:
- Medical and therapy-related expenses you have incurred or may incur in the future
- Lost income due to missing time at work
- Pain and suffering damages
- Loss of enjoyment of life
It is important that you never delay seeking legal assistance after an accident. In California, you have two years from the time that you are injured to file a claim before you are unable to do so. Keeping the statute of limitations in mind can ensure that your rights are being protected in every way possible.
