Vehicle Accidents in California

Studies show that over one million drivers are arrested every year for driving under the influence in the United States. Driving while impaired is considered a negligent act because drivers are carelessly putting themselves and others at risk of being seriously injured or killed. There’s no way to drive at a safe speed, follow traffic laws, and remain alert while under the influence.

Because Boulanger was arrested for suspicion of DUI, it will be easier for the police officer to file a personal injury lawsuit and prove a negligence claim. With the help of a California personal injury attorney, the police officer should be able to receive compensation for medical expenses and more.
