How much money does an insurance company pay out for accidents related to alcohol?
Well, this is a wide open question, and needs to be answered with more questions, I'm afraid. Are you referring to an insurance company to "pay out" for property damages or for bodily injury? If for property damage, the insurance company will never pay more than ACV (actual cash value). If for bodily injury, if the at fault party was found to be under the influence of alcohol, then 'punitive' damages would certainly come under consideration. This would consitute additional dollars paid to the tortfeasor (the injured party)and to be considered 'punitive' or, required of the defendant as 'punishment' for his/her actions. However, insurance companies do not pay 'punitive damages'. The reason the insurance companies do not pay for 'punitive damages' is because by their very nature (and I'm sure you can tell by their name), they are intended to be punitive; they are intended to serve as 'punishment'. If our insurance company paid out dollars that are to be our 'punishment', then we are not 'punished'. Punitive damages are only awarded by juries, when a claim has escalated to a 'complaint' filed in civil court. They can also be awarded by a judge.
Does a person physically impaired by a motorcycle accident only have to except what the other persons insurance will pay and can we sue punitive damages?
Punitive DamagesPunitive Damages? You have to first understand that "Punitive" is "Punishment". Punitive damages can be awarded against a defendant for a violation of your civil or legal rights, your liberties, if they somehow sought to deny you due legal process in law or you could prove that the accident was an intentional or reckless act.If the at fault party caused the accident intentionally, violated your rights in some way or violated the law in the insurance settlement process then you may have grounds to seek punitive damages.If the at fault party were simply at fault in an accident that was not intentional and without substantive violation of your rights, liberties or legal process then you would have no grounds under which to seek "punishment" or punitive damages against them. They would only be liable for actual damages. A punitive award would not be justified.Sometimes an accident is just an accident. You could sue but unless you could prove some reckless disregard or intentional cause such as road rage then it is not likely you could win a punitive award.Good Luck and Happy Motoring
