A drunk driving accident can change lives in an instant. Impaired drivers make reckless decisions, often leading to catastrophic injuries and tragic losses. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a drunk driver, you have the right to seek justice.
At Small Law Firm, we help victims of drunk driving crashes recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain & suffering, while also pursuing punitive damages to hold the responsible party accountable.
Drunk driving is a criminal offense, but victims also have the right to file a civil claim for damages. These cases often involve:
✔ Severe injuries – Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and broken bones.
✔ Significant financial losses – Medical bills, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation.
✔ Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma – The devastating impact of an impaired driver’s actions.
In some cases, bars, restaurants, or other establishments may also be held accountable if they served alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person who later caused an accident. Small Law Firm explores all possible avenues for compensation, ensuring victims receive the financial support they deserve.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a drunk driver, you need an experienced legal team on your side. Here’s why people trust Small Law Firm:
✔ Personalized Attention: We take the time to listen, investigate, and fight for justice on your behalf.
✔ Decades of Experience: Representing injured victims across New York State in drunk driving cases.

Drunk driving crashes are devastating, but you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. Contact us today for a free case review, and let us help you seek the justice and compensation you deserve.
If the driver lacks insurance, you may be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Craig will explore all available insurance policies and other potential sources of recovery.
You may recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages to punish the drunk driver for their reckless behavior. Craig will evaluate your case to determine the full value of your claim.
In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is typically three years from the date of the accident. However, shorter deadlines may apply if a government entity is involved. Acting quickly ensures your rights are protected.
Under New York’s Dram Shop Act, establishments can be held liable if they served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who later caused an accident. Craig will investigate whether third-party liability applies in your case.
Yes. A civil claim for damages is separate from criminal proceedings. Even if the drunk driver is convicted, you can file a personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries and losses.

Attorney Craig Small not only returns phone calls, but he got me a settlement in a record amount of time. So refreshing to deal with a lawyer who treats me like an equally intelligent adult, instead of condescendingly talking down to me like most lawyers do. I highly recommend this law firm and will use them again.
