Can I Seek Punitive Damages?

Generally speaking, punitive damages may be sought in drunk driving cases if it’s reasonable to assume that the offending driver knew their actions (i.e., driving while intoxicated) would have a high probability of resulting in an accident, injury or death. The purpose of punitive damages in a drunk driving case is to punish the offending driver with the hopes this will deter him or her from driving while intoxicated again in the future.

At Kelly, Reed & Jansen, we understand the devastation that drunk drivers in Missouri can wreak on individuals and their families, which is why we seek punitive damages when possible. We don’t want other people to have to suffer because of someone else’s reckless decision to drink and drive.
