Texas Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

Drunk driving claims often involve more than “standard” negligence. Depending on the facts, these cases can include:

• Strong evidence of fault (DWI arrest, breath/blood results, dashcam, witnesses)
• Serious injuries due to high-speed impact or reckless behavior
• Potential for additional damages depending on case details
• Multiple insurance and legal angles (driver coverage, employer liability, third parties in limited situations)

Insurance companies still fight these cases, but impaired driving can create powerful leverage when liability is established.

Not every drunk driver is caught at the scene. Signs of impairment may include:

• Swerving, drifting, or crossing lanes
• Speeding or sudden braking
• Delayed reactions at lights or intersections
• Driving the wrong way
• Rear-ending stopped traffic at speed
• Running stop signs or red lights

Our team looks for evidence that supports impairment and unsafe driving behavior.

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones and complex fractures
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Severe neck and back injuries
• Permanent disability
• Psychological trauma after a violent crash

Your claim should include both current losses and future needs.

Depending on the facts of your case, compensation may include:

• Medical bills and future medical care
• Rehabilitation, therapy, and long-term treatment
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering

If the crash results in a fatality, families may have options through a wrongful death claim.

If you suspect the other driver was intoxicated:

1. Call 911 immediately and request police response
2. Tell the officer what you observed (smell of alcohol, slurred speech, open containers, etc.)
3. Get medical attention right away
4. Take photos of the scene and damage if you can
5. Collect witness names and contact information
6. Avoid recorded statements to insurers before legal guidance

Evidence can matter—especially when impairment is disputed—so acting quickly helps protect your case.

In most cases, the drunk driver is liable. Depending on the situation, other responsible parties may exist, such as:

• An employer (if the driver was working at the time)
• A vehicle owner (negligent entrustment in some situations)
• Other parties who contributed to dangerous conditions

Our team investigates the facts and identifies all coverage options available.
