Sadly, drunk driving accounts for a large portion of all car accident fatalities. Each year, thousands of people in the U.S. die in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, representing over one-third of all traffic-related deaths in the country. In the vast majority of cases, the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of the impaired driver is .08 percent or higher.
Over 1 million drivers are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics every year. That’s less than one percent of the 159 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among U.S. adults each year. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 926 people are injured everyday in drunk driving accidents. Innocent people endure life-altering injuries due to drunk driving instances.
While the Connecticut criminal justice system is equipped to deal with the criminal aspects of a drunk driving accident, it usually fails to address the heavy financial burden that a death or serious personal injury has on innocent victims and families.

Our principal lawyer, Frank McCoy Jr., is certified in civil trial law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy – a distinction that fewer than 0.5 percent of all Connecticut lawyers have earned.
In all motor vehicle accident cases, it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the incident in question and to enable physicians or other expert witnesses to thoroughly evaluate any injuries.
