In California and throughout the United States, drunk driving remains the leading cause of auto accidents causing injuries and fatalities.

Here, the extent of the man's injuries are unknown but will undoubtedly create medical expenses, possible rehabilitation and lost time at work, pain and suffering, and significant inconvenience.

Victims of drunk driving may be able to obtain compensation for these damages.
