I am California auto accident attorney Mark C. Blane and I began my legal career helping ordinary folks obtain justice from their injuries due to the negligence of another. I went to law school knowing I did not want to represent corporate interests; I wanted to be able to look a client in the eyes and help them in their time of need. If you or someone you love has been injured in any type of accident, I want you to know that you have my sympathy. As an injured accident victim myself, I understand the pain and feeling of helplessness that comes with being in an accident. I also understand the journey to recovery first hand.
I wrote this book to explain the mysteries surrounding a California drunk driving accident & injury case, and what you can do to educate yourself in the process. I want to make sure you understand your legal rights if you or a loved one was injured in a car accident by a drunk driver. The book discusses the legal rights of a drunk driving accident victim in the criminal and civil courts in California. It explains the laws on filing personal injury claims against the persons and businesses that serve alcohol to the drunk driver prior to an accident and discusses the victim’s right to California Insurance benefits after an accident. The insurance laws in California that apply to car accidents are very complicated and change on an almost daily basis.
