Our commitment to Los Angeles through events and outreach

At GoSuits, being a Los Angeles drunk driving accident law firm means more than just providing legal representation. It means investing in the safety, knowledge, and well-being of the community we proudly serve. From free legal education events to school donation drives and local road safety initiatives, we are committed to making a meaningful difference across Los Angeles County.

You can’t really build trust from a billboard. Showing up matters more. So our team gets out there, public awareness campaigns on impaired driving, designated-driver pushes around the Fourth of July and New Year’s, talks about what your rights actually are after a DUI crash. Sometimes that means sitting with a family who just lost someone on a Saturday night in Hollywood. Sometimes it’s sponsoring a neighborhood event nobody outside the block has heard of. Either way, we’d rather be the firm that’s actually around than the one with the loudest commercials.

Ten million people. That’s LA County. Add the bar crowds spilling out in Hollywood, Downtown, and Santa Monica on a Friday night, plus the 405, the 10, the 101, the 5 all running flat-out at the same time, and you’ve got a lot of overlap between drinking and driving. So we get involved. Traffic safety stuff, DUI prevention, anything that might keep one more family from getting that phone call. Honestly, this is the city we live in too. It’s not just about cases for us. It’s about care.

How can I find a reliable drunk driving accident attorney near me?

What should I bring to my first meeting with a Los Angeles drunk driving accident lawyer?

Bring everything that helps tell the story of the crash. That includes the CHP or LAPD traffic collision report, photos of the vehicles and scene, the names and insurance details of every driver involved, and any criminal-case paperwork (citations, arraignment notices, the DUI booking number). Add your medical records and bills from the ER and any follow-up visits, prescription receipts, a list of providers you have seen, your own auto insurance declarations page, recent pay stubs to show lost wages, and a simple written timeline of how the crash happened, the symptoms that followed, and any contact you have already had with insurance adjusters.

How to evaluate a drunk driving accident attorney in Los Angeles?

Evidence collection

1

Police and CHP collision reports.

The official report often contains the impairment notation, field-sobriety observations, and chemical-test results that anchor the civil claim.

2

Toxicology and chemical-test data.

Blood-alcohol results from the criminal case become admissible evidence of negligence in the related civil suit.

3

Surveillance and dashcam footage.

Bars, parking lots, traffic cameras, and nearby homes often capture the impaired driver before, during, or after the crash.

4

Eyewitness statements.

Bystanders and other drivers describing erratic driving, slurred speech, or the smell of alcohol strengthen the impairment case.

5

Vehicle event-data recorder (EDR/black box) information.

Modern cars store pre-crash speed, throttle, and braking data that can show whether the impaired driver braked at all.

6

Receipts from bars, restaurants, or events.

If the driver was overserved, these documents matter for any third-party liability claim.

7

Medical records and imaging.

ER notes, MRI and CT scans, and treating-physician records establish injury severity and connect the harm to the crash.

8

Photos and scene measurements.

Skid marks, point of impact, vehicle damage, and roadway conditions help reconstruction professionals show how the wreck unfolded.

Strong evidence collected early often decides the case. The first 30 days after a crash are when footage is overwritten, vehicles are repaired or scrapped, and witnesses move on. A firm that opens an investigation immediately preserves the proof that an insurer will later try to dispute.

Common causes of drunk driving accidents in Los Angeles

Alcohol-impaired driving

The California Office of Traffic Safety reports that alcohol-impaired driving is involved in roughly 30 percent of all traffic fatalities statewide each year, and Los Angeles County leads California in alcohol-involved injury collisions. California Vehicle Code section 23152 makes it unlawful to drive with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or higher, or while under the influence regardless of BAC. To strengthen a civil claim, preserve the CHP or LAPD report, the booking record, and any chemical-test results from the criminal case. Witness statements about the driver's behavior at the scene and bar or restaurant receipts from the hours before the crash also help build the picture.

Types of drunk driving accidents in Los Angeles

Head-on collisions caused by an impaired driver

Head-on crashes happen when an intoxicated driver crosses the center line on an undivided road or enters the wrong direction on a freeway. These are among the deadliest crash types and almost always produce serious or fatal injuries. CHP routinely cites alcohol or drug impairment in head-on freeway fatalities across LA County.

Common Causes

  • Wrong-way freeway entry late at night
  • Drifting across the center line on canyon roads
  • Severe alcohol or drug impairment with delayed reaction time
  • Driver fatigue compounded by alcohol
Win Chances: 75% - 90%, illustrative estimate only; outcomes vary by case facts and are not guaranteed.

Los Angeles CA drunk driving accident lawsuits steps and processes

Collect all available evidence after an accident

Strong drunk driving accident cases in Los Angeles begin with detailed evidence collection. Our GoSuits attorneys gather CHP and LAPD crash reports, ER records from local trauma centers like Cedars-Sinai, UCLA Ronald Reagan, or LAC+USC, and any surveillance, dashcam, or doorbell-camera footage that captured the collision. We preserve toxicology results, request the criminal court file, speak with eyewitnesses, retrieve 911 transcripts, and secure scene photos. From a wrong-way crash on the 405 to a hit-and-run on Sunset, we leave nothing behind when preparing your case.

Write a demand letter to the insurance company

Once we have the documentation, we prepare a demand letter to the impaired driver’s insurance carrier and any other responsible party. This letter outlines your injuries, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, future medical costs, and (where the facts support it) the basis for punitive damages under California Civil Code section 3294. Our Los Angeles drunk driving accident attorneys make sure no category of loss is overlooked. The letter starts the negotiation process and signals you are serious about full recovery.

Negotiate a settlement with the insurance adjuster

If the insurer responds in good faith, we begin negotiating a fair settlement. Our LA accident lawyers rely on evidence, qualified estimates, the criminal DUI conviction (when available), and a clear timeline of your treatment to push for maximum value. We handle all communication with adjusters, protecting you from lowball offers and recorded-statement traps. If a fair agreement isn’t possible, we are prepared to take the next step.

File a drunk driving accident lawsuit in Los Angeles County

When insurers refuse to offer fair compensation, filing a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court gives us additional leverage. Legal action opens up formal discovery and increases the pressure on defendants to settle. GoSuits handles all paperwork, deadlines, and filing procedures so you can stay focused on recovery while we move the case forward.

Begin the discovery process in a lawsuit

During discovery, both sides exchange information under oath. We serve interrogatories, requests for admission, and document demands on the defense. We also depose the impaired driver, eyewitnesses, treating doctors, and any defense experts. Our goal is to lock in sworn answers, expose weaknesses in the defense story, and surface evidence that strengthens your claim.

Mediate the injury case before trial

Before trial, many DUI civil cases go to mediation. This is a private session where both sides meet with a neutral mediator to explore settlement. Your GoSuits LA attorney presents your case clearly and continues negotiating during and after the session. Mediation lets us resolve cases without the time and stress of a courtroom, but we never agree to unfair offers just to close a file.

Go to trial in a Los Angeles drunk driving accident case

If no agreement is reached at mediation, your case proceeds to trial. We present your evidence in Los Angeles County Superior Court using medical records, qualified testimony, the DUI conviction or toxicology evidence, and the facts uncovered in discovery. Your attorney argues on your behalf before a judge or jury. In serious injury and wrongful death cases involving drunk drivers, LA juries often respond strongly when presented with clear, honest facts.

Finalize a drunk driving accident settlement

A settlement may happen at any stage of the process. If a full agreement is reached before trial, you receive compensation in exchange for releasing the claims. We confirm your settlement accounts for current and future medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering, attorney fees, and out-of-pocket costs. Every detail is reviewed to protect your financial future, and we negotiate medical liens at the close so more money lands in your pocket.

Appeal a drunk driving accident verdict in Los Angeles

If a jury rules against you and we believe a legal error affected the outcome, GoSuits can file an appeal. We identify the mistake, file appellate briefs, and present arguments to the California Court of Appeal. If successful, the verdict may be overturned, a new trial ordered, or the judgment corrected. Our team is prepared to keep fighting for justice when trial results fall short.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have a valid drunk driving accident claim in Los Angeles?

You likely have a valid claim if an impaired driver caused your crash and you suffered injuries or financial losses as a result. A police report noting alcohol or drug impairment, a DUI arrest, or a chemical test above the legal limit are strong indicators. You'll need to show the driver's impairment caused your injuries. A free consultation with a Los Angeles attorney can confirm whether your case meets California's legal requirements.
