If you have been injured by a drunk driver in Connecticut then you have a number of ways that you can go about collecting money damages for your injuries and damages. First and foremost, it is very important that you contact an experienced Connecticut injury lawyer to assist you in your case. Assuming the individual that caused your injuries has been arrested for drunk driving then that person's case will proceed through the criminal court system.

• the drunk driver
• the owner of the motor vehicle
• the restaurant, club or bar where the person became intoxicated before causing your accident
• any intervening third parties
• any local or state government that might be responsible for your injuries as a result of a defective roadway
• some other reason or your own insurance company
• the insurance company of a residence relative of the same household for uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits
