Can I sue a drunk driver for punitive damages?

Punitive damages are damages designed to punish the wrongdoer, and are available in certain circumstances in Virginia and the District of Columbia. However, Maryland courts have specifically held that a drunk driver does not have to pay punitive damages. In all three jurisdictions you are entitled to collect for medical expenses and lost wages incurred as a result of the drunk driver's negligence, as well as obtain compensation for pain and suffering.
