Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

I can obtain that information for you from the DMV at no charge, with no obligation. Please call me at 877-LION-FOR-LAW, so we can make sure this tragedy is thoroughly investigated, and justice is done

You may have a lot of money available to you. That depends on the insurance of the drunk driver, and also his assets. The insurance required for a new car is only required by the contract for the purchase for the value of the car to protect the lender for the car. Hopefully the driver also bought liability insurance, which is also required in California, but this is not enforced by the lender. Please let me help you on this case. Joe Marman

I have no interest in this matter, since it is out of my geographical area, but I do wrongful death litigation, and I can tell you that there is no wrongful death case that can or should be handled by the layperson himself. You will net much more with an attorney and it costs you nothing up front, so investigate wrongful death lawyers in your area and interview a few. Do not delay further.

Two years from the date of the accident is the deadline to file a suit or consummate a settlement. I'm glad this drunk can afford a new car. Insured or not, his money will look better in your pocket than his, and I bet you dimes to donuts he is still drinking and driving. It would not occur to a layperson to have him investigated and prove that he is still drinking and driving, but a professional might do so and make the case stronger. Good luck.

We are all sorry for your loss. It may help you a little to realize a good, experienced attorney may be able to find you addlitional money. If the driver was convicted of a felony [does not sound as though he was if he is out buying a car], he is also liable for your reasonable attorney fees. If his parents owned the vehicle and they let him drive even though they knew he often would get drunk and then drlive, they might be liable for negligent entrustment.

Good luck.

I saw all the other responses to your question. I would also like to ask you if your daughter carried UM coverage on her own auto policy because if she did, there is another sure way to receive compensation. My name is Barry J. Simon, ESQ. and my email address is: [email protected]

I agree with all the other attorneys. They have provided you with good advise. There are methods to determine if the other party had insurance and you need to look at any possible uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage for potential recovery.
