Experiencing a drunk driving accident can be overwhelming, but taking the proper steps afterward is crucial for your safety and legal standing:
Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. The amount of compensation depends on the severity of the injuries, the impact on the victim’s life, and available insurance coverage. Our goal at Crane Flores, LLP is to ensure comprehensive compensation that reflects the full extent of the victim’s losses. Each case is approached with a custom strategy to maximize recovery potential, acknowledging the unique impacts experienced by each victim.
In California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim after a drunk driving accident is typically two years from the date of the incident. This timeline underscores the importance of quickly securing your rights to compensation. Delays can limit evidence collection and weaken the potential success of your claim.
