Alcohol Related Accidents: Even a small amount of drugs or alcohol can impair a person's ability to drive safely. If you have been injured in an accident caused by someone who was impaired by alcohol or drugs, contact our lawyers for a free initial consultation.

Effects of even small amounts of alcohol

In Connecticut, a person is considered legally intoxicated if they have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher. However, according to a review of more than 100 studies by the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, even small amounts of alcohol can impair a driver:

+ Driving can be impaired beginning at.01 percent BAC
+ Vigilance can be impaired at .02 percent BAC
+ Tracking can be impaired at .01 percent BAC
+ Perception can be impaired at .03 percent BAC
+ Visual function can be impaired at .03 percent BAC
+ Cognition (judgment) can be impaired at .005 percent BAC

Drunk drivers who refuse Breathalyzer tests

Criminal defense attorneys often advise their clients to refuse field sobriety test and Breathalyzer tests. Even if those tactics help a drunk driver avoid criminal prosecution, it will not help them in a civil case. In drug and alcohol-related accidents, our lawyers will introduce evidence such as the police car videotape and the police officer's observations. If the driver weaved in traffic, smelled of alcohol or showed other signs of intoxication, that evidence can be compelling to a jury.

If you have suffered injury in a car accident:

* Have you been to the hospital or seen a doctor? Get medical attention immediately. You need to know the extent of your injuries. The sooner your injuries are examined and treated, the sooner you can get your life back to normal.
* Are you stressed out about the ramifications of the auto accident, or are you focusing on your recovery?

Catastrophic injuries, such as a spinal cord injury or brain injury require far more care-often lifetime care. Your health should be your focus.

Premises Liabilities: When a building's owner knows the lighting is insufficient or when a manager is aware of a safety hazard and does nothing to fix it or warn people, these owners and managers should be held responsible for the personal injuries that result.

At our premises liability law firm, we often help clients who have been harmed by someone else's negligence. Our first concern is that our client receives appropriate medical treatment. Then we investigate the accident and determine if legal action should be taken.

* Did bad lighting cause your accident? Bad lighting can cause a fall on stairs. Or it may prevent a person from seeing a hole or indentation in a walking surface.
* Were you harmed because of poor security? If a building owner knew of previous assaults on the property and failed to improve the lighting or otherwise protect innocent people, you may have cause to make a premises liability claim for damages.
* Contact Rosenberg & Press, LLC … When a building owner knowingly allows a dangerous situation to exist, and when that dangerous situation causes an accident, our attorneys can help you determine your legal options.

Animal Bites: When a dog viciously attacks a child — or any other person — leaving severe injuries, you can be sure there will be no "one-free-bite" rule. Owners have a responsibility to keep their pets from harming other people.

Children who make sudden moves or elderly people who may walk unsteadily are favorite targets of nervous dogs — especially dogs bred to attack.

* Have you or a loved one received a dog bite? These attacks can cause serious injury. When an animal attacks someone's face, there can be tearing of nerves and blindness. Deep puncture wounds are common and can easily become infected. Rosenberg & Press, LLC understands the injuries and the trauma of animal attacks.
* Have you sought immediate medical treatment? Even a bite on a hand or foot requires immediate care. The wound needs to be cleaned, irrigated, and examined for possible nerve or muscle damage. Medical care for a dog bite or any animal attack can include emergency care, an ophthalmologist for eye damage, dentistry, and plastic surgery.
* Have you contacted a dog bite attorney? Know your rights. Whether or not the dog has a history of attacking people, the owner is responsible in most situations. Our attorneys can help you file a claim.
* What is the emotional damage? Dog bite victims — especially children — often suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following an animal attack. Be sure to seek the necessary therapy.
