Drunk Driving Accidents | Virginia Attorneys

Drunk driving is one of the most common causes of car accidents on our nation’s roads. Sadly, these accidents could usually be avoided if the driver had acted more responsibly and refrained from driving under the influence of alcohol. If you have suffered a serious injury in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, it is crucial that you have an experienced lawyer on your side who can fight for your rights and make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.

We will aggressively battle the insurance companies to make sure you receive the compensation necessary to stay afloat during this difficult time.

In Virginina, if you are a victim of a drunk driver, you may also be entitled to recover punitive damages from the drunk driver and his insurance company. If at the time of the accident the drunk driver either refused to take a blood alcohol content (BAC) test or he had a BAC of .15 or higher, punitive (or exemplary) damages are presumed. Punitive damages are over and above compensatory damages and awarded for two separate and distinct reasons. First, to punish the drunk driver for his reckless actions and second, to send a message to the community that the behavior of drinking and driving will not be tolerated by the community.
