We have a problem with drunk driving in Cobb County and surrounding areas. Drunk drivers hurt people. And while the courts hand down criminal punishments to some drunk drivers, the number of injured and dead people is going up, not down.At Neuberger Law, LLC<\/a>, located between Atlanta and Marietta, we discourage drunk driving by filing lawsuits seeking hefty penalties against drivers who show such contempt for the people in their path. Georgia law allows punitive charges to be assessed against drunk drivers in injury and wrongful death cases.

Punitive charges go beyond the usual compensatory damages of most injury claims (lost pay, medical expenses, pain and suffering). They allow a jury to award a much higher total in damages, into the millions of dollars.<\/p>

Drunk driving crashes are the most common occasion for punitive damages. The law stipulates that these damages require that the offender show “willful misconduct, malice, fraud, wantonness, oppression, or that entire want of care which would raise the presumption of conscious indifference to consequences.”<\/p>

Punitive damages require serious, egregious misconduct. Drunk driving qualifies. So does reckless driving and driving on drugs, and other bad behavior, including distracted driving. But it is drunk driving that juries tend to punish with these added damages.<\/p>

Personal injury lawyer Jim Neuberger represents victims of every kind of serious accident injury, but he is known for his assertiveness and legal knowledge in seeking punitive damages in drunk driving cases.<\/p>

If you have been injured in a DUI crash, or had a family member injured or killed by a drunk driver, seek an attorney<\/a> with a special focus on discouraging these unacceptable actions.<\/p><\/article>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
