Drunk driving accident victims may be able to seek compensation for both their financial losses and pain and suffering. The exact types and amounts of compensation will depend on the facts of the accident, available coverage, the severity of their injuries, and how the collision impacts their daily life and future care needs.
In many cases, a drunk driving accident injury claim may include payment for losses such as:
- Medical bills, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, including emotional distress and mental anguish
- Long-term disability, disfigurement, or other lasting effects of the injuries
- Property damage, including vehicle repair or replacement
