Los Angeles DUI charges can result in more than just criminal penalties, which is why you need a Los Angeles DUI defense attorney who can direct on the best way to handle all of your affairs. Actress Pamela Bach is being sued following an accident this past March. Mitchell Paulson is suing the former "Baywatch" actress and ex-wife of David Hasselhoff after she ran into his vehicle while driving under the influence of alcohol several months ago. Paulson is suing Bach over damage to his car as well as injuries caused by the accident. Bach had pleaded no contest to the Los Angeles DUI charge in March and was placed on probation at the time.
This is proving to be a difficult year for Bach as she was arrested again in late November for felony driving under the influence after being stopped by the Los Angeles Police. Bach was given two breath analysis tests, in which she blew .13 and .14, respectively. Bach's breathalyzer test results placed her well above the legal limit of .08% blood alcohol concentration. Bach will most likely be facing time in jail for her second Los Angeles DUI offense.
When you drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you could be facing much more than just the legal hassle associated with Los Angeles DUI charges or the loss of your driving privileges. If you injure another person while driving under the influence or damage their car or home, you could be financially responsible for the damage you have incurred. Accidents related to driving under the influence can quickly become their own vortexes of expense, pain and misery. The damage you cause to another person or their property while driving under the influence is not only expensive if that person decides to sue you for damages, but the sheer amount of damage you have caused is also generally taken into account when your criminal case goes to court. Severely injuring or killing someone while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol could land you in prison for several years, sometimes even if it is your first Los Angeles DUI offense.
