You May Qualify for Punitive Damages After a Bike Crash Involving a Drunk Driver
Louisiana courts rarely award punitive damages to punish guilty parties for their especially offensive actions. Lawmakers drew attention to cases involving drunk drivers, per CC Art. 2315.4.
If a drunk driver strikes someone while biking, the bicyclist may be eligible to seek punitive damages above and beyond their normal damages, compensating for actual losses.
