Drunk Driving Accident Attorney in Riverside

Car Accidents: Injuries Caused By Drunk Drivers

Every year, drunk drivers claim the lives of thousands of innocent people. In the U.S. in 2008, there were more than 11,000 fatalities caused by alcohol-involved auto accidents*, which are auto accidents that involved at least one driver who had a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater (the point at which a driver is considered to be "under the influence" of alcohol under law).

We represent auto accident victims throughout Riverside and all the surrounding areas, taking advantage of more than 35 years of combined legal experience and extensive resources to handle our clients' cases.

Liability in a Riverside DUI/Drunk Driving Accident

To prove that the drunk driver should be held responsible for your injuries, you will need to prove that the driver caused the accident. This is precisely where your Riverside personal injury attorney comes to prove his or her worth, as it can be difficult to establish the cause of an accident without the proper resources to conduct a complete investigation. Fortunately, we have the know-how to handle your case and often work with accident reconstruction professionals to determine how to hold a drunk driver responsible in a Riverside auto accident claim.
