A Drunk Driver Made a Choice. We Make Them Answer for It.

Drunk Driving Is a Choice, and Virginia Punishes It

Beyond Your Bills, the Law Lets Us Punish the Choice.

Being hit by a drunk driver carries a weight that other crashes do not. The harm was preventable, the cause was a decision, and the injuries are often severe. You deserve more than an apology.

We pursue the full cost of the crash, the medical care, the lost income, and the pain, the same as any serious injury case. But where the driver’s conduct was willful or wanton, Virginia law also allows punitive damages, an additional award meant to punish and deter, subject to the state’s statutory cap.

A criminal case may run alongside your claim, but it is separate. The criminal court punishes the driver for the state; your civil claim is how you and your family are made whole. We handle the civil side and coordinate with the criminal timeline.

“There is a different feeling in a drunk driving case. The person who hurt you did not make a mistake, they made a choice, and the law gives us a tool that ordinary crashes do not: punitive damages. Those are not about your bills, they are about punishment and deterrence. To get there, I document everything that shows the conduct was willful, the blood alcohol level, the behavior, any prior history. The criminal court handles the state’s case. My job is to make sure you and your family are made whole, and that the choice carries a real cost.”
