Drunk driving remains a serious national problem that tragically affects numerous lives. In 2017, according to the NHTSA, there were 10,874 alcohol-impaired (BAC > .08) driving fatalities in the United States (29% of all motor vehicle traffic fatalities), one every 50 minutes, with 1,120 (10.3%) of those fatal crashes occurring in California. In fact, about one-third of all traffic fatalities involve drivers whose abilities have been significantly diminished by drinking. It is estimated that two in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol related crash at some time in their lives. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) rightfully calls alcohol-impaired driving the most frequently committed violent crime in America. While the criminal court system can punish a drunk driver who caused the accident, it does nothing to compensate the victims.
In order to help compensate victims, deter drunk driving, and punish impaired drivers who cause accidents, the civil law in California provides that victims can recover punitive damages from drunk drivers in addition to compensatory damages. Damages for personal injury caused when driving while intoxicated usually cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. In some circumstances, the persons or businesses who furnished the alcohol, or the drunk driver's employer, may be held liable as well.
If you have been injured or a family member has died in an accident involving
an intoxicated driver, you have the right to recover compensation for the damages
suffered, as well as punitive damages. You have the right to hold those responsible
for the harm they have caused, whether the injury or death occurred in a car
accident, motorcycle
accident, bicycle
accident, truck
accident, pedestrian
accident, or any other type of mishap or conduct.
