Florida Attorneys Serving DUI Auto Accident Injury Victims
Offices in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Fort Meyers
Drunk drivers pose a serious risk to anyone who shares the road with them. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is more than mere careless driving — it is a criminal act that is at the very least reckless, if not intentional.
When a drunk driver causes an auto accident injury, the legal situation is somewhat different from in an accident caused by careless driving. Because Florida law states that a drunk driver must be held responsible for his or her actions, the victim — or the victim's family in the case of a fatal car accident — has the right to seek punitive damages as well as compensatory damages from the driver or the driver's insurance company. (For information about the difference between compensatory and punitive damages, see the Types of Car Accident Compensation page of this website.)
