Legal Options For Victims Of Intoxicated Driving Accidents
After an auto accident involving drunk driving, it’s important to explore your legal options. You may have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver responsible for your injuries.
Kentucky’s intoxicated driving laws are strict, with a legal limit of .08% for blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Lower limits apply to underage drivers and commercial drivers. The law also prohibits driving under the influence of intoxicating substances, including prescription drugs. Additionally, dram shop laws allow drunk driving accident victims to hold establishments accountable for serving alcohol to visibly intoxicated individuals who later cause accidents.
Our attorneys can guide you through these options and help you understand your rights.
What Damages Can Be Collected
After a drunk driving accident, victims may be entitled to:
- Compensatory damages, which cover medical bills, property damage, missed work, and pain and suffering
- Punitive damages, which may be awarded to punish the offender
Our lawyers will work tirelessly to present a compelling case for compensation.
