Despite the national public awareness campaigns and education about the dangers of drunk driving, accidents involving intoxicated motorists remain a serious problem in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 10,265 people died in drunk driving collisions in 2015, accounting for nearly one-third (29%) of all traffic-related fatalities in the United States that year.

Those involved in a car accident with a drunk driver often suffer serious injuries which require extensive medical treatment and physical rehabilitation. The recovery process could entail days, weeks, or months away from work. In order to receive compensation for your injuries, our Hartford drunk driving accident attorneys at Zayas Law Firm are committed to taking legal action against the driver and hold him or her responsible for the damages they caused.

Connecticut Dram Shop Laws

In addition to holding the drunk driver liable for your injuries, there is a possibility that you can also hold bars and other establishments that serve liquor responsible for serving alcohol to someone who is obviously intoxicated, underage, or requests alcohol after hours. According to Connecticut’s dram shop laws, if a bar, club, or restaurant negligently served alcohol to a person that ends up causing an accident, the victim may be able to pursue compensation from that establishment.

Understanding Local Resources and Support in Hartford for Drunk Driving Accidents

Living in Hartford, we understand the unique challenges our community faces when it comes to drunk driving accidents. The Hartford Police Department and the Connecticut Department of Transportation are actively working to reduce these incidents through various safety programs and checkpoints. However, despite these efforts, accidents still occur, leaving victims with significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens.

One of the major pain points for Hartford residents involved in drunk driving accidents is navigating the aftermath. From dealing with medical bills at Hartford Hospital to managing time off work, the impact can be overwhelming. Our team at Zayas Law Firm is deeply familiar with these local challenges and is dedicated to providing the support you need. We know the local roads, the common accident hotspots, and the best ways to gather evidence to build a strong case for you.

Understanding Connecticut's dram shop laws can also be crucial for Hartford residents. If a local bar or restaurant served alcohol to the intoxicated driver who caused your accident, you might be able to seek compensation from that establishment. This local knowledge can be pivotal in ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
