Connecticut Drunk Driving Accident Injury Lawyer

A crash caused by a driver suspected of using alcohol or drugs can leave you facing injuries, medical costs, lost income, and difficult questions. A Connecticut drunk driving accident lawyer can explain the civil injury claim process and help investigate potential responsibility while a separate criminal matter proceeds against the defendant.

Plaintiff Civil injury claims and criminal DUI cases are different

A criminal case concerns whether the defendant driver violated criminal law. A civil claim against the same defendant seeks compensation for injury-related losses and has its own parties, evidence, and procedures. A defendant's criminal conviction is not the only way to evaluate a civil claim. Police reports, witness accounts, available video, medical records, and evidence obtained through court discovery may help establish what happened.

How an impaired-driving accident attorney can help

Attorney Geoffrey T. Einhorn can review the available evidence, assess potential responsible parties and insurance coverage, and handle communications with insurers. The firm can also help document medical care, missed work, and other effects of the collision. Damages depend on proof and applicable law. Alcohol involvement alone does not guarantee a particular outcome or additional damages.

What to do after a crash with a suspected impaired driver

• Call 911 and request medical help when needed.
• Give police accurate observations; avoid speculation or confrontation.
• Preserve photos, witness information, medical records, receipts, and insurer correspondence.
• Do not try to investigate the other driver or access their devices yourself.
• Speak with counsel before accepting a settlement or signing a release.
