Everyone is aware of how dangerous it is to drink and drive, yet hundreds of people still lose their lives in Texas each year because of fatal accidents involving alcohol. No one who has been injured in a drunk driving accident should have to suffer without fair compensation.
It is against the law to drive with a blood alcohol content of .08 or more. The Texas Penal Code also defines “intoxicated” as “not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body… “. If the person who was driving when you were injured was drunk, that person is responsible and their insurance company should pay.

The key to recovering fair compensation for this type of motor vehicle crash is to provide evidence that the other driver was intoxicated by alcohol or under the influence drugs at the time of the accident. This can be done by obtaining copies of police reports, gathering witness statements from the time of the accident, and other legal strategies.
