Common Injuries Cause in Drunk Driving Accidents

Injuries sustained in drunk driving accidents tend to be more serious than in other car accidents. Often, drunk drivers can lose control of their vehicles due to their impairment, causing severe head-on collisions or rollover accidents.

Common injuries sustained in drunk driving car accidents include:

• Brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Paralysis
• Injuries requiring amputation
• Whiplash
• Wrongful death

We will help you hold the drunk driver accountable for his negligent actions so that you do not have to shoulder the financial burden of your injuries. Often, insurance companies will try to unfairly reduce your compensation in order to lower their costs. Our Virginia car accident lawyers have the skills and experience to battle the insurance company so that you can receive the maximum compensation for your injuries.

The Compensation We Can Help You Recover

Our Virginia car accident attorneys have helped many drunk driving car accident victims, and we know how difficult this process can be. We understand that you and your family may be facing considerable hardship while you recover from your injuries, and that is why we are here to help you every step of the way. When we handle your case, we will pursue compensation for the following damages:

• Lost wages

Understanding Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are over and above compensatory damages and awarded for two separate and distinct reasons. First, to punish the drunk driver for his reckless actions and second, to send a message to the community that the behavior of drinking and driving will not be tolerated by the community.

In Virginia, if you are a victim of a drunk driving accident, you may also be entitled to recover punitive damages from the drunk driver and his insurance company. If at the time of the accident the drunk driver either refused to take a blood alcohol content (BAC) test or he had a BAC of .15 or higher, punitive (or exemplary) damages are presumed.
