Virginia Alcohol / Drug Related Accident Attorneys
If you or your loved one has been injured by the negligence of
a driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol in
Virginia, you may have
a claim for exemplary (commonly called punitive) damages.
These damages, which are in addition to the damages to
compensate for the injuries received in the collision, are
awarded to send a message to the community that the conduct
engaged in by the defendant will not be tolerated. Proof of entitlement to exemplary damages is highly
technical. The sooner the evidence in support of such a claim
is preserved, the better the chance of presenting a successful
claim.
If you or a family member has been injured by an intoxicated driver, under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, contact the Richmond accident attorneys at Marks & Harrison for a free consultation.
