Punitive Damages In Drunk Driving Accident Cases

In a drunk driving accident case, as in all other car accident cases, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In these cases, you may also be able to get punitive damages. These are damages that the negligent driver has to pay to the victim as part of the penalty for DUI/DWI. Punitive damages are also intended to deter future drunk driving. When you choose an attorney to handle your case, you want to make certain you choose someone who understands punitive damages and can see that you get all the compensation you are entitled to. That is our goal.

Evidence Of Drinking And Driving

The victim may not be aware that the negligent driver was driving drunk. However, when investigating a serious car accident, it is routine for law enforcement to conduct tests to determine if intoxication played a role. We will access the results of these tests to have all evidence necessary to make your case a success.
