Reckless choices have consequences. We pursue punitive damages and full compensation.
Drunk driving is not an accident. It is a conscious decision to endanger every person on the road. If you or a loved one has been injured by a drunk driver, you need an attorney who will pursue every avenue of recovery, including punitive damages.
Attorney Michael L. Chambers, Jr. and his team conduct thorough evidence gathering, including blood alcohol test results, crash reconstruction, witness statements, and surveillance footage. We coordinate your medical care, handle all insurer communications, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
These cases are unique because the at-fault driver made a conscious choice to drink and drive, which opens the door to punitive damages in addition to standard compensation.
We investigate thoroughly: BAC tests, police reports, video evidence, and witness statements. We consult experts and push for full compensation including both economic and punitive damages. DUI charges and civil injury claims run on separate tracks but reinforce each other. We navigate both.

Economic damages: medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation costs, vehicle repair or replacement.
Non-economic damages: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life.
Punitive damages: designed specifically to punish the drunk driver and deter others. Available because drunk driving is a conscious decision, not a moment of inattention.

FAQs
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you, paid only when we win. If we don't recover compensation, you owe us nothing.
Yes. DUI criminal charges and your civil injury claim run on separate legal tracks. A criminal conviction can strengthen your civil case, but you don't have to wait for the criminal case to resolve before pursuing your injury claim.
Your health comes first: get medical attention immediately and follow your treatment plan. Do not speak to the drunk driver's insurance company or accept a quick settlement offer. Contact us as soon as possible so we can preserve BAC evidence, police reports, and scene documentation before anything disappears.
Every case is different. Some settle in months, others take years, especially when injuries are still developing or the insurance company won't offer fair compensation. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your consultation, and we don't settle early just to close a file. The goal is the full value of your case, not the fastest check.
In Connecticut, you generally have two years from the date of the accident or discovery of injury to file. Contact us early. Evidence degrades, witnesses move, and some situations have shorter notice requirements.
Yes. Because drunk driving is a conscious choice rather than a moment of inattention, Connecticut courts can award punitive damages on top of standard economic and non-economic compensation. We build the strongest possible case using BAC tests, police reports, and video evidence.
Yes, in many cases. Even if you share some fault, Connecticut's modified comparative negligence rule allows recovery as long as you were not more than 50 percent responsible. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated. Don't assume you have no case. Let us evaluate it for free.
Most cases settle without going to trial. But if the insurance company won't offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared for trial and will fight for the result you deserve.
No. Every case starts with a free, no-obligation consultation.
Do not answer their calls. Do not give a recorded statement. Insurance adjusters are trained to get you to say things that reduce your claim. Send them to us. That is literally what we're here for.
You heal. We handle everything.
I just wanted to say as difficult of a client as I was, Lawyer Chambers did not give up on me nor did he give up on my case! He stayed constant communication and providing me with updates. I can't tell you how amazing this man and his team have been to me, so I just wanted to get on here and say thank you again so much to Lawyer Chambers and team for everything that you have done for me and for resolving my case beyond what I expected!
Even tho he couldn't take my case he was very helpful and informative gave good advice and went out his way to help me customer service is A1
Not only was my PI case handled with complete diligence and integrity with stellar results but Mr. Chambers Jr at the end of my case personally delivered my check to me when I was unable to make it to his office.
Mr. Chambers is hands down the BEST OF THE BEST!!! I was being sued for thousands of dollars. I called every attorney office in my area and NOONE assisted me like they did here. When I called Michel L. Chambers's office, EVERYONE I spoke to was kind, helpful and understanding. They took my issue very seriously and made it top priority to assist me.
I wholeheartedly recommend my lawyer Mr. Chambers to anyone seeking legal representation for Medical Malpractice or Personal injury cases. His exceptional legal expertise, unwavering dedication, and genuine compassion set apart from the rest. Thanks to his remarkable efforts, I received a settlement that not only provided much-needed financial relief but also gave me a renewed sense of hope for the future.
Attorney Chambers was excellent! I had an unfortunate situation where I was rear-ended and it looked like I was going to have to cover my passenger's medical bills. Not only did I not have to cover the medical bills, I got my medical expenses and auto repair covered. The insurance companies were giving me a hard time and attorney Chambers told me he would handle it. He did.
Mr. Chambers was very professional and very informative. He is someone I would highly recommend for your legal services. Mr. Chambers went above and beyond to get the best possible results for me. Just genuinely cares about his clients as individuals and this is important when one feels lost in the legal system.
Working with this office is very simple and straightforward. They always answer the phone and respond to any questions and you can always check electronically where you are at every step of the case. This law office is legit and effective. Glad they were able to help me. Highly recommend.
Very professional and a pleasure to work with. All the ladies are excellent and well mannered. Attorney Chambers and Greg made it happen for me. I would've gave them more stars but Google put the limit at 5.
No question goes unanswered. I was injured in a car accident a few months back and took a gamble on selecting an Attorney from Google find.. And let me tell you I was not disappointed at all!!! Attorney Chambers and his team went above and beyond on meeting my expectations. From selecting the right doctors and therapist for me to meet with. Everyone worked together to make sure that my health was their top priority. I was ultimately awarded the maximum payout.
