Legal Question in DUI Law in California

DUI, Hit and run driver, borrowed vehicle

I was hit by a DUI driver that was fleeing from a hit in run a mile down the road. They were not insured, but the vehicle they borrowed is, through the legal owner. The driver went to jail for VC 23152(a), 21801 (a) 23153(a)(b) I am getting nothing but a run around from the insurance company. so far it has cost me almost $2,500 plus my vehicle was a total loss. I am bouncing checks left and right and am being evicted because I have not been able to pay all my rent. What can I do and do they have to compensate me for all my losses?

Re: DUI, Hit and run driver, borrowed vehicle

You need to retain an attorney to review this. If the car is insured, you are entitled to recover the fair market value of your vehicle, loss of use of your vehicle, and money for your injuries, if any. As a former insurance adjuster, I can walk you through this process. Please feel free to call my office for a free consultation at 916 247 6868.
