California has some of the harshest penalties for driving under the influence. If you’ve been a victim of a drunk driving accident, contact a car accident lawyer in Sacramento immediately for help. California law prohibits drivers from operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs because of the severe devastating and life changing injuries that can occur from drunk driving accidents. Drunk driving fatalities in California in 2015 was 867, which is 28% of all total traffic deaths, a 4.6% increase from the year prior.
Victims of drunk drivers, whether those who experienced a collision themselves or those who lost a family member due to a drunk driver, are entitled to compensation. It is infuriating that the carelessness and negligence of one person could completely change the course of so many lives. Because professional attorneys have dealt with these cases so many times, it’s best to contact one for the best help.
The value of your claim will usually depend on the nature and extent of the injuries, damages and losses you have sustained. The more common types of damages you could seek compensation for are:
If the drunk driving crash resulted in a fatality, the family of the deceased victim can file a wrongful death claim seeking compensation for the damages such as medical expenses, funeral costs, lost future income and benefits, pain and suffering and emotional distress.
If you’ve been a victim of a drunk driving accident, you are not alone. Help is available so contact a Car Accident Lawyer in Sacramento immediately. An experienced and local lawyer can help you start a civil case against a drunk driver and fight for the maximum compensation you need. A skilled lawyer will need to investigate the accident, gather and preserve evidence, and determine who should be held responsible for your injuries.
Sometimes proving liability is easy, but sometimes it isn’t which is why you need an attorney. The fact that the driver has already been convicted in court of having a blood alcohol content over the legal limit at the time of the event is extremely helpful in pursuing compensation. However, it is not enough to get you the maximum amount of compensation you deserve. Because some cases involve serious damages or fatal accidents with lack of insurance, you need a seasoned attorney who knows the best way to overcome these obstacles.

This is my second time hiring Mr. Choyce for my son, who was charged with a criminal act. Both times that I hired Mr. Choyce, I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law, his professionalism, and the fact that he was relatable. He is trustworthy, tells you the truth about what you are facing. He is organized, he is a very good listener, came up with strategies that were appealing.I can’t say enough good about Mr. Choyce! I knew that he was going to give my son’s case everything he had, and he did!
Hiring the Choyce Law Firm was the best decision I made while trying to decide what to do after getting charged with a 3rd DUI. I tried to use a lawyer that I had previously used when in trouble with the law, he was near retirement and wasn’t able to give my case the attention I was looking for understanding that I was facing jail time. When contacting Mr Choyce we discussed my case and he told me he could help, he even knew my previous attorney. Mr Choyce was aggressive in fighting my case with filing motions on my behalf an trying to get my case dismissed, I was very pleased that he was not just looking to get the first deal the D.A. offered but was aggressively trying to win my case. Although we were not able to get the dismissal we were looking for he was able to keep me out of jail an I was able to serve my sentence on the EHD Program, which allowed me to keep my job an that was very important to me. Mr Choyce also handled a second case for me, I was charged with driving on a suspended license and no registration. Once again Mr Choyce was aggressive with this case and took it to trail an was able to get a not guilty verdict, which saved me a great deal of money in fines that would be pending with a guilty verdict. Overall hiring Mr Choyce and his team was the best decision I made, he provided great service at a respectable rate, an explained things as they were happening and with the charges I was facing I was very happy with the outcome of my cases that he handled. I would strongly recommend Mr Choyce and his team to anyone I know that needs legal representation he knows the law and will provide you with the best service you could hope for form a lawyer that wants to win.
“This is my second time using Mr. Choyce, and I would choose no one other than him. Both times that I hired him, it was for my son, and they were very serious cases. Mr. Choyce is smart, professional, practical, and relatable. He is a serious person, who listens, speaks in laymens terms, so that you understand what is going on. Not like some that I have experience, who talk over you, and dont take the time to really answer your questions.The second case got very close to going to trial, however, I was confident that I had the best of the best representing my son. Thank God that after willing to go to trial, we got a deal that, I think was a win win.I would definitely, without a question, hire Mr. Choyce again!”
Car accidents are a crazy situation for everyone involved, and the last thing you are thinking about when the adrenaline is pumping is how to make sure the accident is completely documented so that liability is properly assigned. The problem is, each party in the accident usually has a different and opposing goal – to have liability assigned to the other!
Have you ever been stuck in this situation? Sometimes it happens because each party honestly believes they are correct and the other is at fault, but at other times, one party will attempt to lie and reduce their own liability. In either case, the benefits of having a dash cam could prove invaluable.
The emergence of the Dash Cam’s heavy use can generally be traced back to Russia, where it was originally used to fight insurance fraud in the country. Insurance fraud was running rampant, and individuals began recording their daily driving to combat the issue and protect themselves from unfair lawsuits. “Driving in Russia” YouTube videos went viral and people started using dash cams around the world. They are an incredibly useful tool for documenting evidence during a collision, but their use during the claims process and court proceedings in the United States has been met with skepticism. Although video from a dash cam can be considered conclusive evidence, it will not always be. Having a dash cam in your car can prove very helpful in the event of a crash, but it is not a substitute for performing all the other necessary steps following an accident. If you have been involved in an injury accident, call the injury attorney in Sacramento at The Choyce Law Firm for a free consultation.
Dash Cams are a great way to protect yourself from fraud and to gather information about an accident, but did you know they may soon be able to save you money on insurance costs?
Insurance is priced so that the sum of all annual premiums will pay for the cost of any claims, plus some profit for the insurance company. As the cost of claims goes down, so do the insurance premiums paid, and vice versa. This is why certain drivers pay more than others – the insurance company has deemed their potential cost of claims, or risk, based on their age, driving record, or other factors, to be greater than the next persons. Insurance companies have entire teams of statisticians that work to determine factors that put people at higher risk of making a claim, and they have teams of people that work to develop products and packages that can help to limit the chance of accident. An example would be an insurance company lowering your premium based on the number of miles you drive. The lower the number of miles, the lower the risk for an accident and the lower the premium paid.
Insurance companies in the UK have begun experimenting with premium reductions for people who drive with dash cams. The actuarial teams have determined that having a dash cam reduces the cost of claims, and should result in a decreased premium paid. It has not yet been determined why these companies think dash cams reduce the cost of claims, as there is no causal link between having a dash cam and a reduction in accident frequency. For this reason, insurers in the United States have remained skeptical and have yet to adopt a similar stance, but it could be soon to follow if the statistics are validated in other markets.
