Making The Wrongdoer Pay Through Punitive Damages

Drunk driving accidents are often different from other types of accidents because of the potential for punitive damages. If you are hit by someone who make an honest mistake and simply didn’t see your car, it’s not the same as being hit by someone who chose to drive recklessly and endanger you.

Because drunk drivers typically fall into the latter category, the court often decides to punish them for their intentionally dangerous behavior. The court does this through awarding punitive damages. This is essentially extra money the drunk driver must pay. It is intended to discourage the driver from ever driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs again.

What does this mean for you? It means that if you were injured in a drunk driving accident, you may be able to collect more money than normal. Let us evaluate your case and advise you further.
