Notable Case Result: $1.4 million judgment against a drunk driver who struck down and seriously injured a young boy who was walking on a sidewalk with his mother, sister, and brother.
Seeking Justice by Pursuing Punitive DamagesIn 1979, in the case of Taylor v. Superior Court, the Supreme Court of California upheld that people who drive drunk consciously disregard the safety of others and can be held liable for punitive damages, in addition to normal personal injury damages, when they cause accidents.
This means that if the prosecution can prove that the driver who hit you was under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI), it may be possible to get more compensation for your injuries.
In addition, juries tend to have negative attitudes toward defendants who have been shown to be guilty of drunk driving. Auto insurance companies are aware of this fact, so they are often anxious to avoid going to trial for car accident claims involving drunk drivers.
Documenting the Facts in Support of Your ClaimOur attorneys are experienced in pursuing fair compensation for the victims of drunk driving accidents. If the person who caused your accident was driving drunk, we can use police reports, witness statements, and expert testimony to establish that fact.
