$1.25 Million Settlement : Motor Vehicle Accident Caused by Drunk Driver

When a 65 year old Dutchess County resident was driving in Connecticut he never thought he would end up in a Danbury Connecticut hospital for 3 weeks. Unfortunately that is what happened after a lone drunk driver crossed over a double yellow line and struck him head on. Our client nearly died and required multiple surgeries for several broken bones. The drunk driver did die in the crash. We attempted to recreate where the drunk driver had come from so we can hold the server of the alcohol responsible. Unfortunately, there was no digital foot print left by the drunk driver as he did not have a cell phone. No bar within a 25 mile radius had any credit card receipts for him. It remains a mystery where the drunk driver was before the crash. Our client wanted to put this behind him and accepted the full amount of insurance available ($1,250,000) on the car that struck him. The case was settled by our Connecticut lawyer, Ken Bartlett.
