Injury Lawyer explains important parts of your personal injury case

How Punitive Damages May Apply to Your Personal Injury Case

In this instructional video, Bucks County personal injury lawyer, Michael L. Saile, Jr., explains how punitive damages can be awarded in Pennsylvania car accident cases. In his explanation, Mr. Saile uses the example of the fatal PA auto accident involving TV star, Ryan Dunn.

Punitive damages are special damages under Pennsylvania law that are damages in addition to regular negligence damages. Punitive damages are meant to punish bad conduct. When a driver causes a serious PA auto accident due to his or her reckless behavior, an injured victim may be able to recover punitive damages from the reckless driver.

It was been reported that before Ryan Dunn tragically killed himself and his passenger, he was driving at speeds in excess of 100 m.p.h. and his blood alcohol content (BAC) was in excess of double Pennsylvania's legal limit for DUI (driving under the influence).
