Drunk driving accidents aren’t like typical fender benders. They’re often violent, high-speed collisions with serious or even permanent injuries. In Danbury and throughout Connecticut, drivers are legally impaired at 0.08% blood alcohol content (BAC), but any amount of alcohol can reduce a driver’s judgment and reaction time.
We’ve seen firsthand how these crashes destroy lives — spinal injuries, brain trauma, broken bones, disfigurement, emotional trauma, and even wrongful death. And what makes it worse? It didn’t have to happen.
That’s why our team takes these cases personally. For more than 40 years, we’ve helped victims hold reckless drivers accountable — and we’ll do the same for you.
After a drunk driving crash, you may be eligible for compensation that goes well beyond medical bills. We work to recover:
Drunk driving accidents are different — and so is the legal strategy required to win them. We make sure every dollar of damage is fully documented and fought for.

1. Can I still file a lawsuit if the drunk driver was already arrested?
Yes. Criminal charges are separate from your civil injury claim. Even if the driver is convicted, it doesn’t guarantee compensation — that’s what your civil claim is for.
2. What is a dram shop claim and how does it help?
If a bar, restaurant, or other business knowingly overserved alcohol to the driver who caused your crash, you may be able to hold that business financially liable under Connecticut’s Dram Shop Law.
3. What if the drunk driver doesn’t have enough insurance?
If the at-fault driver is underinsured or uninsured, we can explore compensation through your own UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured motorist) coverage. We will also investigate other liable parties.
