What is the name of your state? California.
I was stopped behind a car at a red light. A heard screaching tires, looked up in a split second a car slammed into me 1 week old Honda Element. I was hit in the right rear area. The force of the impact knocked me into a car ahead of me. The driver of the car that hit me was DWI. And as it turns out was racing another car. The other car was never identfied. With all that eing said me and the other victem were both hurt. I went to the ER, got xrays, meds and am waiting to see my regular Doc on monday. In addition to fixing my car and taking care of medical bills and lost wages, is there any chance of suing him for "Punitive damages"? Beings as it was an act caused by extreme reckless and irresponsible behavior?
Thanks
