Do I have a wrongful death case if my father was killed by a drunk driver?
Yes. In addition to criminal prosecution, those responsible for causing accidents while intoxicated are often prosecuted for wrongful death in civil courts. Consult with an attorney, and see if this may be a beneficial option for you. Only an attorney can determine if the circumstances of your dad's death fit the definition of "wrongful death." You can phone the local branch of the State Bar Association to ask for referrals to attorneys who can advise you.
