California DUI Injury Attorneys

If you have been injured by a drunk driver or lost a family member killed by a drunk driver, you have a right to be angry. Drunk driving is illegal and inexcusable. In fact, victims of drunk driving accidents in California are allowed to seek punitive damages in these cases as an additional punishment for the drunk driver.

At Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook (CMS&C), we represent drunk driving accident victims and their families in Oakland. Our verdicts and settlements include successful outcomes in numerous drunk driving accident injury and wrongful death cases. For a free consultation, please call 800-496-9152 or contact us online.

We Seek Compensatory and Punitive Damages

Drunk drivers often cause severe or fatal injuries because their attention is not on the road and their reaction times are slowed. The result may be that they run traffic lights, swerve into other lanes, drive at excessive speeds or travel the wrong way down a road. Head-on collisions, T-bone crashes and high-speed collisions are common and, unfortunately, very serious.

Victims may suffer catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations or burns. In the most severe accidents, wrongful death may occur.

Working with accident reconstruction and medical experts as well as economists and life-care planners, we will calculate the cost of your past and future medical needs and lost income. We will also seek punitive damages. Because the standard of proof is lower in civil court than in criminal court, the outcome of the criminal case does not affect the injury lawsuit.
