Punitive Damages in Alaska DUI Cases
Unlike ordinary negligence cases, DUI accident claims often qualify for punitive damages — compensation designed to punish the drunk driver and deter future reckless behavior. In Alaska, courts recognize that choosing to drive drunk is willful and reckless misconduct.
Punitive damages can significantly increase your total recovery beyond medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An experienced DUI accident attorney knows how to document and present your claim to maximize these damages.
The criminal DUI case and your civil injury claim are separate. You can pursue full compensation even if the driver is acquitted or pleads to a lesser charge.
