Drunk and impaired drivers cause some of the most preventable — and most devastating — crashes on Colorado roads. If you or a loved one was hurt by an impaired driver, you deserve more than an apology; you deserve full accountability. Injury Claim Team connects victims with attorneys who pursue maximum compensation in DUI crash cases.
Drunk Driving Claims in Colorado
Beyond the criminal case the state brings against an impaired driver, victims can file a separate civil claim for their injuries and losses. Colorado law may also allow claims against businesses that over-served a visibly intoxicated person under dram shop liability. Because impaired driving shows clear disregard for others' safety, these cases can sometimes support exemplary (punitive) damages.
No fee unless we win: Our network attorneys handle drunk driving cases on contingency. You pay nothing unless they recover compensation for you, and the case review is always free.
Common Causes of Drunk Driving Injuries
Many drunk driving cases share recurring causes. Identifying exactly what went wrong — and who is responsible — is the foundation of a strong claim:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol
- Driving under the influence of marijuana or drugs
- Over-service of alcohol by bars and restaurants
- Repeat-offender impaired drivers
- Impaired driving combined with speeding
- Wrong-way driving while intoxicated
- Late-night and holiday impaired driving
- Commercial drivers operating while impaired
Compensation You May Recover
Every case is different, but injured Coloradans pursuing drunk driving claims may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, long-term care, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, wrongful death damages, and potentially exemplary damages that punish especially reckless conduct. The right attorney makes sure every category of loss is documented and pursued.

Why Act Quickly
Colorado law limits how long you have to file a claim, and evidence disappears fast — skid marks fade, surveillance footage is overwritten, and witnesses move on. The sooner you connect with an attorney, the more they can do to protect your rights and build your case. There is no downside to a free consultation, and no obligation.
