What You Need to Know and How Carlson & Dumeer Can Help
The recent Labor Day weekend in Connecticut revealed the heightened risks on our roads, with state police responding to 334 crashes, making 41 DUI arrests, and issuing hundreds of other motor vehicle violations. During busy holiday periods, the risk of accidents dramatically increases. If you find yourself a victim of such an incident, Carlson & Dumeer, LLC, based in Hartford and Middletown, is here to help. Our attorneys provide experienced legal assistance to those injured in accidents and facing serious criminal charges like DUI.
The Reality of Connecticut Roads on Holiday Weekends
Connecticut highways are particularly hazardous during long weekends. This year, Labor Day weekend saw over 5,118 calls for service reported to the state police. Among these, 26 crashes resulted in injuries, while a fatal crash occurred in Windsor. With speeding, distracted driving, and DUI violations at the root of many accidents, victims often require skilled legal representation to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Your Rights as a Victim of a Car Accident
Connecticut law allows personal injury claims for victims of car accidents caused by another driver’s negligence, including behaviors like speeding, impaired driving, and failing to obey traffic laws. With a comparative negligence system, you may still be entitled to compensation even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, as long as you are less than 51% at fault.
