Vehicle Accidents in California
Studies show that an average 29 people suffer from fatal injuries every day after being involved in DUI accidents. When drivers are under the influence, they’re more likely to speed, violate traffic laws, and drive reckless. Because alcohol takes individuals out of their right minds, their reaction times are slower as well as their hand-eye coordination. Once the police finish investigating this accident, the teenage girl’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit, and the other two injured victims could file personal injury lawsuits with the help of a California attorney.
