Yes, it is possible that you will be able to include a request for punitive damages in your accident case among many others. Many individuals who have been involved in a drunk driving crash will bring a claim for a variety of monetary damages including medical expenses, physical therapy, lost wages, and more. You might be eligible for punitive damages if it is decided that the party acted with outright recklessness and egregious behavior that a prudent and reasonable person would have never engaged in. Speaking with an attorney can dictate what damages you are eligible for.
