Drunk Driving Accidents
In Georgia, accidents resulting from drunk driving can lead to significant injuries to the victims and severe legal consequences for the responsible party.
Under Georgia law, victims of these accidents may be entitled to punitive damages, which are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are awarded in addition to compensatory damages awarded in a normal motor vehicle collision, which cover medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
To qualify for punitive damages, the plaintiff must generally prove that the driver acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.
