Yes, there is a significant difference. While there is no set calculation, if you take two cases with the same facts, and one of those cases involves injuries caused by a drunk driver, the case with the drunk driver will more than likely be valued more than the other scenario. Depending on the circumstances, the case involving a drunk driver may be worth many more times the value of a similar case when a drunk driver is not involved.
