Police arrest Ernesto Salatiel Avina Rodriguez following injury crash in Coalinga

DUI CRASH INVESTIGATION

Every year, approximately 300,000 innocent victims suffer injuries in drunk driving crashes, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).

These types of collisions share a common factor: they are preventable. Driving under the influence significantly increases the risk for everyone on the roadway. Candice Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney, weighed in on incidents like this.

“Separate from criminal charges, a victim may be eligible for compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. “An attorney can help guide an injured victim through this difficult time, protect their legal rights, and work to ensure accountability for impaired drivers.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

The victim injured in this accident may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, explained that the stress following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting family life, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“Although no amount of compensation can undo a serious injury, it is important that victims understand their legal rights and what they may be entitled to,” Formica said. “The injured party in this crash may be eligible to recover damages such as medical expenses, future care costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.”
