Sacramento Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Drunk Drivers and Motorcycle Accidents in California

When a drunk driver causes a motorcycle accident in California, he or she may face criminal and civil charges. A Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer at our firm can help if you or someone you love has been injured by a drunk driver in a motorcycle accident.

As it is, many car and truck drivers do not see motorcyclists and may turn directly into their path. In fact, this is the cause for many motorcycle accidents throughout the U.S. When a car or truck driver is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI), their awareness and reaction time are limited. The likelihood of a drunk driver causing an accident is much greater, and thus the risk to motorcycle riders is increased.

Motorcycle accidents can easily cause severe injury and even death to the motorcycle rider. At our firm, we are dedicated to helping victims who have been injured or who have lost their lives in a motorcycle accident caused by a drunk driver. We will help by pursuing justice in the California civil court system. In civil court, the drunk driver will face monetary penalties for the injuries they have caused. In criminal court, the driver will face criminal penalties, such as jail time, fines, probation, counseling, community service and more.
