When Drunk Driving Causes Real Harm

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.


What You May Be Entitled To

After a drunk driving crash, you may be eligible for compensation that goes well beyond medical bills. We work to recover:

  • Emergency and ongoing medical expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of future earnings
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma and PTSD
  • Vehicle damage or total loss
  • Punitive damages (to punish the drunk driver)
  • Compensation for permanent disability or disfigurement

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.


How We Build a Strong Case

Alan Barry & Associates knows what it takes to go up against big insurance companies — and win. We act fast to secure and preserve crucial evidence, including:

  • Police reports and BAC test results
  • Dashcam, surveillance, or traffic footage
  • Bar and restaurant records (in dram shop cases)
  • Accident reconstruction data
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Medical records and expert evaluations

We don’t settle low. We don’t back down. And we always prepare like your case is going to trial — because sometimes, that’s what it takes to get the justice you deserve.


We Understand What You’re Going Through

Being hit by a drunk driver often leaves more than just physical wounds. There’s shock, grief, and a deep sense of betrayal. You might be wondering:

  • Will the driver be held responsible?
  • Will insurance cover my costs?
  • Can I get compensation even if they’re facing criminal charges?

We’re here to answer those questions and more. When you hire Alan Barry & Associates, you’re not just getting a lawyer — you’re getting a team that treats your case with urgency, care, and relentless focus.

FAQ’s: Drunk Driving Accidents

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.
