These accidents can damage and forever alter the lives of victims and their families.

 

NYC & Queens Drunk Driving Accident Liability

 

The New York drunk driver’s insurance company typically pays out these claims up to the amount of the drunk driver’s insurance coverage limits. The establishment or social host that provided the alcohol to the driver may also be liable pursuant to New York’s dram shop laws(s). In addition to damage awards for pain and suffering, victims of New York drunk driving car accidents may also be entitled to punitive damages as well. Punitive damages are meant to punish defendants for especially harmful conduct.
