Lawyers for Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents

Despite stiff criminal penalties for drunk driving, drunk driving accidents still account for far too many injuries and fatalities.

In Connecticut, 120 lives were lost in drunk driving accidents in 2005 according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's 44 percent of all Connecticut traffic fatalities for the year.
