How to Prove Drunk or Drugged Driving

With the rates of DUI driver arrests and accidents increasing in California, it’s more important than ever to recognize the signs of an intoxicated driver. These signs cannot only help you avoid a DUI crash, but also to prove another driver’s fault after a crash occurs. Documenting signs of drunkenness or being high in the other driver from the scene of the wreck can strengthen your case against him or her later.

Always call 911 to report a DUI accident in Riverside County. These crashes often involve injuries or wrongful deaths in Riverside, but they also involve someone breaking the law. Involve the police to help you document evidence of the other driver’s intoxication, as well as to receive an official report of the wreck. Your insurance company will want your police report number when you call to file a car accident claim. Stay calm, do not admit fault, and request an ambulance if you or someone else has any injuries.

Proving that a driver was under the influence, and that this was the main cause of your car accident and resultant damages, is your burden as the plaintiff in an insurance or civil case. An injury attorney from Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP can help lighten your burden of proof. We can gather evidence from the police report, witnesses, subject-matter experts, chemical breathalyzer tests, and more to help you win your claim. You don’t have to go up against a reckless driver or his/her insurance company on your own.

Do You Need an Accident Attorney?
