Drunk Driving Cases and Punitive Damages
In order to pursue punitive damages in a personal injury case, we need to prove gross negligence on the part of the drunk driver. If the driver was convicted of a DUI, this will often be enough to show the driver's extraordinary level of negligence. Punitive damages can often be much greater than the amount an injured victim would normally receive in a motor vehicle accident case and help the victim hold the driver accountable for his or her actions.
Even if the driver was not convicted of DUI, proving any level of intoxication can help your case in front of a jury or in negotiations. With more than 25 years of experience handling personal injury cases, we will explore every avenue to secure you the compensation you need, including medical expenses, lost wages and damages for pain and suffering.
