Can a Drunk Driver’s Passengers Sue the Driver for Injuries Sustained in an Accident in California?

If you or a family member was injured as a passenger in a drunk driving accident, you may have questions. Who is at fault and what are your rights?

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a crime. Convicted drivers may face severe consequences, including jail time and fines. DUI penalties are often more intense for offenses involving injury accidents – despite if the injured party was a passenger in the drunk driver’s car, a passenger in the other vehicle involved, or simply a pedestrian.

In addition to criminal charges, a drunk driver can face civil consequences when a person is injured in a DUI accident. Anyone injured because of a drunk driver – including a passenger in the drunk driver’s car – can claim a personal injury lawsuit against the intoxicated driver.

As the passenger injured, you have a right to pursue damages from the driver. Whatever your unique situation, it is still smart to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney about the circumstances of the accident.
