What Kind of Damages Are Available in a Drunk Driving Accident Lawsuit?
If you or someone you love was injured in an accident that was caused by a driver who was under the influence of alcohol at the time, you might eligible for compensation, which could potentially include:
- Compensatory damages: This encompasses a vast range of damages, both economic and non-economic. Economic damages include medical expenses, damaged property, and any missed wages you might suffer as a result of your inability to work. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering as well as mental anguish.
- Punitive damages: In cases where the at-fault driver has a BAC of 0.08 or higher, California law allows an injured victim to recover punitive damages, which exist to financially punish the driver for the reckless behavior that caused the accident. These damages can only be awarded when one is able to prove that the at-fault driver consciously disregarded the injured victim’s safety.
Of course, not all individuals are able to walk away from a drunk driving accident. If you lost a family member to a drunk driving accident, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit for any medical bills your loved one incurred as a result of his or her fatal injuries, funeral expenses, the loss of companionship, and more.
