Even if the drunk driver is not charged or is not convicted of a DUI Crime, you can still bring a civil lawsuit for compensatory and punitive damages if you have proof of drinking and driving, or that the individual responsible was under the influence of illegal or prescription drugs. The burden of proof is less in civil court than in criminal court, and a drunk driver will not have the right to refuse to testify. Cases against drunk drivers have been successfully brought in civil court even when the drunk driver left the scene of the crash and there was no arrest, no blood alcohol test, and no DUI conviction. Thus, it is important to have skilled legal counsel review your case.

If the drunk driver has bodily injury liability insurance coverage (BI), this will cover the crash and your claim for compensatory damages. However, it will not cover punitive damages. Such a policy may also be subject to policy limits (the maximum amount of BI coverage available). Sometimes more than one policy of bodily injury liability insurance can apply. This is why it is very important to always consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement from a Bodily Injury insurer in a DUI crash case. Insurance companies look out for their best interest, NOT YOURS! Any settlement they may offer may be made before you understand the full extent of your injuries, and without taking into account how your injuries may impact your life long term.
