A great number of Connecticut residents have been injured or lost their lives at the hands of impaired drivers. It is a sad but true reality. Fortunately, following drunk driving accidents, it is possible for victims or, in events resulting in fatalities, victim’s surviving family members to seek financial compensation for any damages sustained that are deemed recoverable in accordance with state laws.
Common losses suffered by victims of DUI-related accidents are many and often include medical expenses, lost wages and benefits, and pain and suffering, among a variety of others.
