Injured? Just call Pazz

DUI Accident Attorney in Connecticut

Driving under the influence is one of the most reckless and dangerous decisions someone can make behind the wheel. When that choice leads to a crash, the results can be catastrophic—both physically and emotionally—for innocent victims.

At Pazz Injury Law, we help victims of DUI accidents throughout Connecticut seek justice and rebuild their lives. If you or a loved one has been hurt in a crash caused by a drunk or impaired driver, our team is ready to step in with compassion, dedication, and legal skill.

The Devastating Reality of DUI Accidents

Drunk driving accidents don’t just cause damage.

They shatter lives. Victims may face long recoveries, permanent injuries, emotional trauma, or even the loss of a family member. In many cases, the impact goes far beyond the accident scene.

We understand the pain, fear, and uncertainty you’re experiencing—and we’re here to help. At Pazz Injury Law, we take DUI accident cases seriously because reckless drivers should be held accountable for the harm they cause.

In the aftermath of a DUI accident, the physical injuries are only one part of the damage. Victims often face a long, painful journey—physically, emotionally, and financially. Fortunately, Connecticut law allows victims of drunk driving accidents to seek compensation for the full scope of their losses.

At Pazz Injury Law, we take the time to understand every detail of your case so we can pursue the maximum compensation you’re owed. That includes both economic and non-economic damages, as well as the possibility of punitive damages in certain situations.

Medical bills can pile up fast after a serious crash. Even if you have insurance, deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket expenses add up. In DUI cases, victims are often left dealing with:

  • Emergency medical treatment

  • Ambulance and hospital costs

  • Follow-up visits and diagnostic testing

  • Surgeries and procedures

  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation

  • Medications and pain management

  • Long-term or permanent care

We fight to recover all past, present, and future medical costs related to your accident, ensuring that you’re not left shouldering a financial burden caused by someone else’s negligence.

If your injuries keep you out of work—whether temporarily or permanently—you deserve to be compensated for the income you’ve lost and may continue to lose. We’ll calculate:

  • Missed paychecks during your recovery

  • Lost business opportunities if you’re self-employed

  • Loss of earning potential if you can no longer work in your field or at all

  • Job retraining or career transition costs, if needed

We work closely with financial experts when necessary to fully document the impact your injuries have had on your financial future.

Not all losses are visible on a medical chart. Victims of DUI accidents often deal with:

  • Chronic pain

  • Emotional trauma

  • Anxiety or depression

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

  • Sleep disturbances or PTSD

  • Strained relationships

Pain and suffering damages aim to compensate you for this emotional toll. While these damages may not come with a receipt, they are very real—and Connecticut law recognizes that.

DUI accidents are not like other crashes. They are caused by a conscious decision to put others in danger. In certain cases, the court may award punitive damages—a form of financial punishment intended to:

  • Hold the drunk driver publicly accountable

  • Deter others from making similar reckless choices

  • Reinforce the seriousness of impaired driving

These damages are not awarded in every case, but when applicable, they can significantly increase the total compensation a victim receives.

Every case is unique. At Pazz Injury Law, our experienced attorneys work tirelessly to uncover every avenue for compensation based on your injuries, losses, and the long-term impact of the crash. If you’ve been harmed by someone driving under the influence in Connecticut, you deserve a team that will fight for every dollar and every right you have.
