Why Fresno sees so many DUI accident?
With more than 543,000 residents and thousands more moving through every day for work, school, and agriculture, Fresno’s streets carry far more than local neighborhood traffic. Major commuter routes, freight corridors, and farming operations all converge here. That constant movement means any lapse in judgment behind the wheel does not stay “minor” for long.
The numbers tell the story. In 2022, 1,627 people were killed or injured in Fresno traffic collisions. Out of cities in its OTS group, Fresno ranked 13 out of 15 for total fatal and injury crashes. Alcohol was a factor in at least 245 of those injuries and fatalities, with young drivers under 21 and drivers 21 to 34 heavily represented. Nighttime collisions (9:00 p.m. to 2:59 a.m.) reached 204, and DUI enforcement logged 1,164 DUI arrests, the worst ranking in its group (15 out of 15).
When you combine dense local traffic, regional freight, late night driving, and a stubborn culture of drinking and driving, Fresno drivers and pedestrians face a very real risk every time an impaired driver decides to take the wheel.
Insurance adjusters are rushing me to settle my DUI with injury case before I even finish treatment. What am I risking?
When an insurance company pushes you to settle a DUI with injury case before you finish treatment, they are trying to close your claim before the full extent of your harm is documented. Accepting a quick payout means you may sign away your right to pursue additional personal injury claims later, even if your medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering turn out to be far greater than you first realized. This is especially dangerous in crashes involving a drunk driver, where serious injury, brain injury, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, internal organ damage, or lasting head trauma are common and often not fully understood in the first weeks or months. You also risk losing the chance to claim punitive damages that may apply in a California drunk driving accident, and you give the insurer control instead of allowing a Fresno drunk driving accident lawyer and legal team to build your case with proper accident reconstruction, medical documentation, and traffic law analysis.
Does comparative negligence affect my case if the drunk driver blames me for the auto accident?
Yes, comparative negligence can affect your case, but it does not wipe it out just because a drunk driver or their insurance company tries to blame you for the auto accident. California follows pure comparative negligence, which means your financial compensation in a DUI with injury case can be reduced by whatever percentage of fault is ultimately assigned to you, but you can still recover the rest. That is exactly why insurers push you to settle fast: if they can get you to casually accept “some fault” on a recorded call or in written statements, they can use it to discount what they owe for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income, and long-term effects of serious injury such as brain injury, spinal cord injuries, or other bodily injury.
When the other driver was driving under the influence with documented blood alcohol content, a police report that proves violation of California Vehicle Code Section 23153, or strong evidence from field sobriety tests the law is generally on your side, and their conduct can support a strong personal injury claim, sometimes even negligence per se. So comparative negligence does not automatically defeats your claim, but letting the insurance company shift too much fault onto you should be primary concern for those hurt by drunk drivers. Before you make statements about who caused what, have a Fresno drunk driving accident lawyer at Bojat Law Group review the facts, police reports, scene photos, and witness statements so your share of fault—if any—is fairly evaluated instead of strategically inflated to save the insurer money. Call us at (818) 877-4878 and we’ll review your DUI case at no cost and tell you exactly where you stand.
Why do blood alcohol content records and accident reconstruction matter in California drunk driving accident cases?
Blood alcohol content records matter because they move your case from opinion to evidence: in California, it’s illegal to drive with a BAC of 0.08% or higher for most drivers, 0.04% or higher for commercial drivers, and 0.01% or higher for drivers under 21. When BAC records show the other driver was over these limits, it strongly supports that they were driving under the influence and can help establish negligence per se. Accident reconstruction then connects that unlawful impairment to how the crash happened—speed, lane position, impact points—making it much harder for the drunk driver or their insurer to dispute fault or downplay the link between their conduct and your injuries.
Beyond DUI crashes, does Bojat Law Group handle other car accidents and personal injury cases in Fresno?
Absolutely. Even though many people first find us after a DUI with injury crash, Bojat Law Group is not limited to those cases. Our Fresno team handles a wide range of personal injury claims including serious car accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, Uber and Lyft accidents, pedestrian accidents, and other motor vehicle accident cases caused by negligent motorists. Whether your injuries stem from a drunk driver, a high-speed rear-end collision, a red light crash, or another form of careless driving, we focus on the same core goal: building a strong record, protecting you from insurance company tactics, and pursuing full financial compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Your DUI accident questions answered
What are the penalties for a first-time DUI in California?
A first-time DUI can mean fines, probation, mandatory DUI classes, a driver’s license suspension, possible jail time, and, in many cases, an ignition interlock device requirement. Penalties increase if there’s an accident, injury, or high blood alcohol content, so getting legal advice early matters.
Can I sue the drunk driver even if they are facing criminal DUI charges?
Yes. The criminal case is separate from your civil personal injury claim. We can pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering regardless of whether the driver is charged, convicted, or pleads out.
What if a family member was killed by a drunk driver?
You may have a wrongful death claim against the drunk driver and any other responsible parties. That can include compensation for funeral costs, loss of financial support, and the impact on your family, and in some cases punitive damages. Call us so we can walk through eligibility and next steps.
What should I do if a drunk driver hits me and flees the scene?
Call 911, get medical care, and try to document anything you can safely—license plate, vehicle description, location, witnesses. Do not chase the driver. Report it immediately and contact us before speaking in detail with any insurance company; we can help pursue claims through all available coverage, including uninsured motorist coverage, and coordinate with the investigation.
What makes Bojat Law Group's approach different from other Fresno drunk driving accident lawyers?
We treat Fresno drunk driving accident cases as serious litigation files, not quick-turn settlements. Our team brings disciplined case building to every DUI with injury claim securing BAC results, California Highway Patrol reports, scene photographs, bodycam and field sobriety evidence, medical records, and, when needed, accident reconstruction to document exactly how impairment caused the collision.
We limit the number of cases we take so we can stay closely involved, track treatment, calculate real medical bills and wage loss, and position your case for full value instead of accepting the first number an insurance company offers. With a track record of significant results across Central Valley car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian injuries, and other serious personal injury matters, we apply the same structured approach here: precise evidence, clear communication, and contingency-fee representation. Call us at (818) 877-4878 for a free consultation — you pay no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
