There Is Never an Excuse to Drive Drunk — BBB Attorneys Will Hold Them Accountable

Unlike a slippery road or a mechanical failure, drunk driving is a decision. The driver chose to drink. The driver chose to get in the car. The driver chose to put every other person on the road at risk. That choice — and the devastating harm it causes — is exactly why drunk driving victims have some of the strongest personal injury claims under Connecticut law.

When a drunk driver injures someone, they are not just civilly liable for the damage they caused. In many cases, their conduct rises to the level of recklessness, which can support claims for punitive damages on top of compensatory damages. Connecticut law is designed to hold these drivers accountable, and BBB Attorneys knows how to use every tool available to maximize your recovery.

No amount of money erases what a drunk driver takes from a victim and their family. But holding them fully accountable — financially, and where appropriate legally — sends a message that this behavior will not be tolerated.

Drunk drivers often travel at high speeds, fail to brake, and cause high-impact collisions that result in catastrophic injuries. Victims of drunk driving crashes regularly suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, internal organ injuries, severe lacerations, and in the most tragic cases, wrongful death. These are not minor fender-benders — they are life-altering events that can require months or years of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.

Beyond the physical injuries, drunk driving victims and their families frequently experience significant emotional and psychological trauma. Post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and the inability to return to work or daily life are all recognized consequences of serious car accidents. BBB Attorneys pursues compensation for all of these damages — not just the medical bills, but the full scope of harm the drunk driver caused.

If you were hurt by a drunk driver, the costs you are facing are real and significant. You should not have to bear them alone. The person who made that reckless choice should.

The steps you take after a drunk driving crash can significantly affect the strength of your claim. If you are able, call 911 immediately and make sure law enforcement responds to the scene — a police report documenting the driver's intoxication is critical evidence. Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel your injuries are minor. Many serious injuries, including concussions and internal bleeding, are not immediately apparent.

Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company — yours or theirs — before speaking with an attorney. Insurance companies are not on your side, and anything you say can be used to minimize your claim. Contact BBB Attorneys as soon as possible so we can begin preserving evidence, documenting your injuries, and building the strongest possible case on your behalf.
