We met with a lawyer today, and I'm already glad we did. He brought up a list of things that I hadn't considered at all.
The other person's official charges are...
Open container
Fleeing the scene
DUI alcohol >0.08
Driving with suspended license
Failure to yield
The lawyer laid out the claims for punitive damages based on those charges.
He also stated that a loss of consortment could be claimed since my wife had to miss work and our lives are affected by my PTSD triggers from it. I never would've considered that.
Anyway, it sounds like this lawyer knows what he's talking about. Thank you guys for recommending a lawyer.
