Personal injury cases against drunk drivers are different from cases involving non-drunk drivers. The reason is that under Pennsylvania law it is clear that drunk driving is egregious conduct. Consequently, victims of drunk drivers are permitted to pursue a claim for punitive damages as well as compensatory damages. Therefore, attorneys such as the attorneys at Hagelgans & Veronis know that they will be permitted to present to the jury evidence of the drunk driver's bad conduct. In contrast, in cases involving non-drunk drivers, the defense attorney will typically admit that the defendant's conduct was wrong so that the jury hears no evidence concerning that conduct. Jurors tend to award higher amounts of compensatory damages in cases involving a drunk driver because of the outrageousness of the drunk driver's conduct.
