Connecticut Bar Negligence Attorney
Representing Auto Accident Victims Since 1978
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 33,000 people died as a result of an auto accident in 2009. More than 10,000 of all traffic fatalities, or nearly one-third, were the result of an accident involving an alcohol-impaired driver.
Many state legislatures throughout the country, including Connecticut, have responded to the danger posed by drunk drivers by passing dram shop laws. These laws attempt to decrease drunk driving accidents by holding bars and other establishments that serve liquor responsible for serving alcohol to someone who is:
- Obviously intoxicated
- Under age
- Requesting alcohol after hours
If you or a loved one has been injured by a drunk driver, you may be able to obtain compensation through a dram shop claim or a general negligence personal injury claim. If you need experienced and effective legal representation in Connecticut, we encourage you to contact the Gillis Law Firm.
