I want to talk to you for a minute about DUI cases, those are cases where the defendant was drunk at the time of the automobile accident.

Now, we all know that in a DUI case, the defendant has a problem with the courts, and with the police, and may even go to jail, and they should, but, in a DUI case, where there are injuries to you or to your family.

That drunken driver is also going to have a problem with us, and here’s why. The damages in a dui case can be much greater than a regular automobile accident case.

Usually, punitive damages are available in a drunk driving case. Punitive damages are meant to punish, thus the name punitive damages, you may have read about them in cases where there is egregious terrible conduct by a corporation or by a person and they not only have to pay damages for bodily injury they cause to somebody, but they also have to pay damages over and above that meant to send a message to them or to to the society about the conduct.

Now, if you were involved in a case and the defendant was drunk, call Rutter Mills immediately.
