Texas Law Is Clear on Drunk Driving

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is illegal in Texas. It occurs when a driver operates a vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or if their physical or mental abilities are impaired due to alcohol or drugs.

In drunk driving accident cases, criminal charges may be filed against the offender—but that doesn’t guarantee you’ll receive compensation. A personal injury claim is a separate civil process that allows you to recover for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

That’s where we come in.
We also represent clients injured in auto accidents involving commercial vehicles, company cars, and rideshare platforms like Uber and Lyft.

Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents

Because impaired drivers often speed, ignore traffic signals, or swerve unpredictably, the crashes they cause tend to be violent and severe. Victims are frequently left with life-altering injuries such as:
  • Neck and back injuries, including whiplash and herniated discs
  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Internal bleeding and organ trauma
  • Deep lacerations, burns, or scarring
  • Emotional trauma, anxiety, and PTSD

Who Can Be Held Responsible

In most drunk driving cases, the impaired driver is the primary party responsible. However, other individuals or businesses may also share liability, including:

  • Bars or restaurants that overserved the driver (under Texas’s “dram shop” law)

  • Social hosts who provided alcohol to minors

  • Employers who allowed intoxicated employees to drive company vehicles

Our legal team investigates every angle to identify all responsible parties and maximize your recovery.
