If you are injured by a drunk driver and there is a corresponding traffic-ticket or criminal case, it is important to have a knowledgeable attorney on your side who understands the interplay between civil cases and related cases, specifically in terms of claims for restitution.
In addition to pursuing damages for things like incurred medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering, people injured by drunk drivers may be able to collect punitive damages. Unlike compensatory damages, punitive damages are meant to punish drunk drivers for their careless behavior. It is important to talk with an experienced injury attorney who can explain how various elements of damages are covered by insurance policies, and to ensure that your claim is being handled with the thorough and aggressive representation you deserve.
