We represent individuals who are injured when someone else operates a vehicle with their faculties impaired. Florida law permits, under certain circumstances, a jury to award punitive damage against a drunk driver. When a driver operates a motor vehicle when he or she is impaired, he creates a known risk and danger to all other drivers. The law generally views this driver as having a reckless disregard for the safety of others. It is important to preserve evidence to ensure a sufficient proffer of evidence to permit a judge to allow you to plead punitive damages. You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
