CLG Injury Law represents individuals injured in drunk driving accidents across Atlantic Canada, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Impaired driving continues to cause serious and preventable collisions, often resulting in catastrophic injuries or fatalities.

Our drunk driving accident lawyers focus exclusively on personal injury law, helping injured drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and families pursue compensation when a driver’s impaired judgment caused a crash.

Impaired Driving Accident Claims and Liability

Drunk driving accidents involve clear negligence, but civil injury claims are separate from any criminal charges. Even if the impaired driver is charged or convicted, injured victims must still pursue compensation through the civil legal system.

Our legal team investigates DUI accident claims thoroughly, reviewing police reports, breathalyzer results, witness statements, and accident reconstruction evidence to establish liability and strengthen your claim.

Types of Drunk Driving Cases We Handle

• Rear end collisions caused by impaired drivers
• Head on and high speed crashes
• Intersection and red light violations
• Pedestrian and cyclist accidents involving impaired drivers
• Multi vehicle DUI collisions
• Fatal injury and wrongful death claims

Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents

Because impaired drivers often fail to brake or react appropriately, these collisions frequently occur at high impact speeds. Injuries may include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, internal organ damage, severe soft tissue injuries, permanent disability, and wrongful death.

Our drunk driving accident lawyers pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of the injuries, including long term medical care and loss of earning capacity.

Compensation Available in Drunk Driving Claims

Victims of drunk driving accidents may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, property damage, and out of pocket expenses. In severe cases, claims may also include future medical treatment, permanent impairment damages, reduced earning capacity, and long term support needs.

Prompt legal advice helps preserve key evidence and protect your right to full compensation.

What to Do After a Drunk Driving Accident

Taking the right steps after a DUI related collision can protect your health and strengthen your legal claim.

Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Even if injuries appear minor, obtain medical care immediately. Proper documentation is critical in impaired driving claims.

Ensure Police Attend the Scene

Drunk driving accidents should always be reported. Police documentation and investigation can play an important role in establishing liability.

Document the Scene

Take photographs of vehicle damage, road conditions, and visible injuries. Gather contact information from witnesses if possible.
