Recoverable Damages in a California Drunk Driving Crash
A drunk driver can destroy your mental, physical, and financial security in an instant. Accidents caused by drunk drivers are often catastrophic or deadly. Drivers under the influence of alcohol have poor judgment and slow reaction time, a combination that leads to collisions at higher, more dangerous speeds.
Sargent Law Firm Injury Lawyers advocates for your right to compensation for all the losses you have suffered because of a drunk driver’s poor decisions. You can rely on us to fight for all your losses, including:
- Medical treatment, rehabilitation, supplies, and medication for your injuries
- Lost current income and diminished earning capacity due to the collision
- Mental and emotional distress caused by the accident and associated losses
- Vehicle repairs and replacement
- Disability and impairment accommodations to your home or vehicle
- Assistive equipment, medical devices, and long-term nursing care
- Physical pain and suffering you experienced because of your injuries
You have a right to seek compensation for your diminished quality of life, particularly if your injuries prevent you from performing activities or engaging in hobbies that you once enjoyed. When our personal injury lawyers serving Oceanside handle your drunk driving accident claim, we fight for the maximum compensation that incorporates all your losses.

Hiring a Lawyer Can Make All the Difference for Your Drunk Driving Claim
Drunk driving accidents are often complex, with ongoing criminal litigation separate from your civil claim. Trying to keep track of developments and negotiate with insurers while recovering from serious injuries is extremely challenging. Since insurance companies rarely work in the victim’s best interests, you benefit from having an attorney on your side.
Our firm will review all settlement offers and negotiate with insurers to achieve the best possible outcome. While you recover from your injuries, we will:
- Identify the liable party and gather evidence to prove fault, including police reports, witness testimony, video footage, and expert statements
- Compile documents to prove your losses and submit them to the insurance company with your claim for compensation
- Negotiate a settlement with the at-fault party and the insurance company
- File a lawsuit against the drunk driver and their insurance, representing you in court as needed
Many drunk driving accident cases settle out of court. We will review all settlement documents with you and explain the terms so you can make an informed decision. You always have the final say in any settlement agreements or decisions to go to trial. Throughout your case, we keep you updated so you always know about any developments or changes as they occur.
If you’ve been injured or a loved one has been killed through an act of negligence, you need the highest level of legal representation.
