Drunk Driving
We have handled numerous cases resulting in punitive damages based upon intoxicated drivers injuring innocent individuals. While liability insurance policies exclude punitive damages, such damages would then be recoverable under the uninsured motorist coverage of the innocent victim.
In the landmark decision in MRC Properties, Inc. v. Gries, 98 NM 710 (1982), we were successful in requiring a social host, a local McDonald's, to be responsible for the consequences of serving alcoholic beverages to minors resulting in a serious automobile accident.
