Hit by a Drunk Driver? We Fight for Maximum Compensation.
Drunk driving crashes aren't just accidents—they're choices. When someone chooses to get behind the wheel impaired, they should pay the full price. We pursue punitive damages to hold them accountable.
Why Drunk Driving Cases Are Different
When a driver chooses to get behind the wheel while intoxicated, they're not just being negligent—they're being reckless. Oklahoma law allows victims of drunk driving crashes to seek punitive damages on top of regular compensation.
"Punitive damages may be awarded when there is clear and convincing evidence that the defendant acted with reckless disregard for the rights of others."
— 23 O.S. § 9.1

Frequently Asked Questions
Drunk driving cases allow for punitive damages—money designed to punish the driver for reckless conduct. This is on top of compensatory damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We also investigate whether a bar or restaurant illegally over-served the driver (dram shop liability).
Absolutely. Criminal and civil cases are completely separate. The criminal case is the state punishing the driver; your civil case is about getting compensation for your injuries. In fact, a criminal conviction can help prove your civil case. We often coordinate with prosecutors to access evidence.
Under Oklahoma's dram shop statute (37 O.S. § 537), you may be able to sue a bar, restaurant, or liquor store if they illegally served alcohol to someone who was visibly intoxicated or underage, and that person then caused your injuries. This can add a deep-pocket defendant to your case.
We obtain police reports with BAC results, toxicology reports, field sobriety test footage, the driver's prior DUI history, bar receipts and credit card records, surveillance footage from establishments, and witness statements. We act fast before evidence disappears.
Drunk driving cases typically result in higher settlements because of the availability of punitive damages. The total value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and the driver's recklessness level. We've seen punitive damages multiply the base recovery significantly.
We explore all avenues: your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, dram shop claims against bars or restaurants, and any other potentially liable parties. We also check if the driver was working at the time (employer liability) or driving a company vehicle.
Justice for DUI Victims.
Drunk drivers should face real consequences. We fight to maximize your compensation and send a message that impaired driving won't be tolerated.
