Drunk Driving Accidents

DWI and DUI convictions typically result in fines and jail time, but if that negligence also caused an accident, you may be able to claim damages for injuries, emotional distress, and loss. Working with a knowledgeable drunk driving lawyer can be the difference between fair compensation and an overwhelming financial burden.

Damages

Punitive Damages

In some instances, Kentucky law also allows juries to award punitive damages. Punitive damages are meant to punish intentional and/or grossly negligent behavior to dissuade others from the same.
