Punitive Damages In Iowa

In drunk driving accident cases, the victims can often recover a settlement greater than what is required to compensate them for their injuries, pain and suffering. Because society frowns on drunk driving and DUI, jurors often award “punitive damages” that are meant to further punish the drunk driver for his or her irresponsible actions.

“Dram Shop” and Liquor Liability Law

It is illegal for any establishment to continue serving alcoholic drinks to someone who is obviously already drunk. If an establishment allows someone to get too drunk, and that person gets into a car accident or truck accident while driving home, then that establishment will be considered partly to blame for the accident.
At the Hemminger Law Firm, we will thoroughly investigate every potential avenue for your compensation so that you can receive the maximum possible settlement.
