What is the Statute of Limitations for DUI Injury Accident Lawsuits?

In California, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. If you fail to file a lawsuit by this deadline, your case will be dismissed and you will be unable to recover any compensation for your accident-related losses.

What Makes Drunk Driving So Dangerous?

When a driver gets behind the wheel after consuming alcohol they put every road user at risk. Alcohol can affect a driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle in a number of ways, making it difficult for them to accurately judge the distances of other vehicles on the road, impacting their reflexes, and judgment, and significantly increasing their chances of being involved in an automobile accident.

Poor Judgment

Alcohol makes it difficult to make good decisions and think clearly, which can result in risk-taking behavior.

Slow Reaction Time

Alcohol consumption slows the brain’s processing speed, making it difficult to react to quickly changing or unexpected events.

Decreased Coordination

Alcohol affects coordination and motor skills, making it difficult to accelerate, brake, and steer.

Poor Depth Perception

Alcohol consumption can make it challenging to judge the speed and distance of other vehicles because it can distort the driver’s vision.

Lack of Awareness

A driver that is intoxicated may not notice other drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists, or may lose track of their location.

Common Types of Drunk Driving Accident Injuries

Because the intoxicated motorist may be speeding at the time of the collision, the results of a drunk driving accident can result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities.
