Impaired drivers operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol is a traffic issue that’s been hard to put under control. Many of these drivers cause serious road accidents with grievous injuries to the other driver. When injured victims seek compensation for the physical and emotional harm they sustained, getting a fair settlement can be extremely hard. Victims may have to fight much harder than they would in an accident where the driver wasn’t under the influence. Insurance companies working the case on the defendant’s side tend to make vigorous effort to extenuate the severity of the event. This is done because victims are entitled to sizeable compensation in drunk driving cases.
A punitive damage issue comes into play when the victim’s indemnity was insufficient. Courts may constitute punitive damage into a case to avoid an inadequate settlement. A punitive damage issue can be incorporated in a case to cover torts that weren’t listed as a liability. It’s usually issued under certain circumstances like reprehensible conduct of the defendant when the injury occurred. Attorneys at the law office of Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas LLP help recover the additional losses missed in an injury case through punitive litigation. The success of punitive litigation is heavily based on evidence. A lawyer can find the distinctions that prove the asperity endured is due to behaviour comported in an egregious way.
