Connecticut Drunk Driving Accident and Injury Attorneys in Danbury and Other Locations

Drunk driving leads to thousands of injuries and deaths every year. This fact is made all the more frustrating because these accidents are entirely preventable. At Ventura, Ribeiro & Smith, our Connecticut drunk driving accident and injury lawyers in Danbury and other locations stand up for victims and family members affected by drunk drivers. We will fight to get you the compensation you need in order to move on with your life.

We Will Hold All Responsible Parties Accountable

There is no doubt that drunk driving is a negligent act. Our Danbury DUI victim attorneys will work to hold the drunk driver and his or her insurance company responsible for any serious injury you may have suffered. However, there may also be other parties who are liable for getting the driver drunk in the first place.

Connecticut has a law known as dram shop liability. This holds bartenders accountable for serving minors or people who are clearly intoxicated. The law also holds homeowners responsible if minors are provided alcohol or are allowed to drink on a homeowner's property. Our experienced lawyers will diligently pursue all claims against liable parties in order to maximize your compensation.

We May Still Win if a Drunk Driver Is Found Not Guilty

Drunk driving is a criminal act and is charged in criminal court. If the negligent driver is acquitted of criminal charges, it is still possible to recover in a civil suit. The standard of proof in civil trials is not as strict as the beyond a reasonable doubt standard applied in criminal court. The lawyers at Ventura, Ribeiro & Smith, will review your claim and fight to get you the justice you deserve at a civil trial.

Do Not Delay Getting Legal Help

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, such as a head injury, in an accident with a drunk driver, it is important that you contact our attorneys as soon as possible. Evidence may disappear quickly in these cases and it needs to be preserved. There are also time limitations for how long you have to file a claim. The sooner you speak with us the sooner we can work on getting you the compensation you deserve.
