Drunk Driving & DUI
Accident Lawyers in Greenwich, CT
Representation for Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents in Metro New York
Intoxicated drivers are responsible for causing thousands of car accidents every year. In New York state, more than 30 percent of all fatal car crashes are alcohol-related, and in Connecticut, alcohol is a factor in more than 43 percent of such crashes. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol, you may be able to receive compensation for your damages.
At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, we know that being involved in a drunk driving accident can completely turn your world upside down. That is why we work closely with our clients to get them the full compensation they need to move on with their lives after an alcohol-related traffic accident.
Drunk Driver Liability
When a person drives under the influence of alcohol, he or she is not only putting others at risk but the driver is also breaking the law. While the penalties for drunk driving can be severe, the consequences of causing an accident can be much greater than fines or jail time. In most cases, a drunk driver is presumed to have been acting negligently, which means that he or she is presumed to be liable for any injuries or other losses sustained as a result of the accident.
Known as “negligence per se,” this principle is often helpful for the victims of accidents caused by drunk drivers, but there are still obstacles to overcome. Insurance companies may try to place some of the blame for the crash on you, even though the other driver was driving drunk. In addition, insurers might also challenge the nature and extent of your injuries in an effort to limit their financial exposure. If you have been injured by a drunk driver, you need skilled legal guidance from an experienced lawyer.

Thank you to Joe Peters. My first call after my son was in a terrible bike/car accident. With him in the ICU, Joe was able to give my Daughter in law the peace of mind she needed. And the first time I had called him about a different Bike accident, he returned my call from the airport on his way to his vacation – that was service way above and beyond – and so much appreciated.
Thank you for the personal attention I needed at a most difficult time in my life.

Mr Peters and Ms. Cahill are absolutely phenomenal professionals. I have had an exceptional experience with both of them. Not only do they exemplify deep legal knowledge and strategic insight, but they also bring an unmatched level of professionalism, empathy, and integrity to everything they do. They take the time to truly listen, explain complex matters clearly, and always act in their clients’ best interests. Beyond their legal expertise, they are genuinely kind, approachable, and trustworthy individuals—rare qualities that make all the difference. I can’t recommend them highly enough; anyone would be lucky to have them in their corner.

Several Years ago, I was in a horrific car accident. My dear friend was driving and was killed in the accident. I was hurt very badly as a passenger, and spent a fair amount of time in the hospital and then home recuperating from a TBI injury. Mike Jones represented me and was there from the start. He is now my Trustee and I am very happy that he is not only a really good lawyer, but an honest and decent human being. Please feel free to reach out to me any time to discuss Mike’s abilities.
