When it comes to motor vehicle accidents, the State of Connecticut is an at-fault state. Therefore, your lawyer must file a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company to recover monetary compensation on your behalf. In some drunk driving accident cases, where it is clear that the other driver was under the influence of alcohol, the insurance company might go ahead and admit fault or liability for the accident. In that instance, the accident victim will only need to prove they suffered injuries and damages in the accident and that those injuries and damages resulted from the accident.
In satisfying this burden of proof, you may need a medical expert to causally relate various injuries to the accident itself. Knowledgeable Hartford drunk driving accident attorney Michael L. Chambers, Jr. can help you prove the legal elements of your claim and pursue the compensation that you need from the at-fault driver’s motor vehicle insurance company.
