ACCIDENT (Especially Injury)

Usually you will be charged with California Vehicle Code section 23153(a) and 23153(b) [if alcohol involved]

First of all, if injury is involved, even if misdemeanor injury, you are looking at completely losing your license for one year, no restricted license allowed. These are especially serious cases and a good lawyer can many times mean the difference between going to prison or going home.

You must start collecting evidence in these types of cases immediately!  I can’t tell you the number of accident DUI cases in the Monterey and Salinas area where going to the scene immediately after and preserving the evidence in the best possible way made a major difference in the outcome of the case.

DO NOT TALK with the other sides insurance adjuster without talking to an attorney on yourside first.
