Intoxicated Truck Driver Accident Attorney

In an Accident With a Drunk 18-Wheeler Driver? You May be Entitled To Recover Damages

If you or your family has been injured in an accident with an intoxicated truck driver, you likely wish to seek legal restitution. Unfortunately, even the most “open and shut” cases can turn into legal nightmares without experienced help.

Do you have a legal question?
Enter your phone number below and let's talk.

Cases involving intoxicated truck drivers often have multiple defendants. Even an accident involving a sober truck driver can be incredibly complex due to the large amounts of money involved when dealing with commercial insurance carriers, but when the driver is intoxicated, the dram shop cause of action often comes into play.

Dram shop law essentially states that, when an intoxicated person injures someone else, the establishment that served the intoxicated person the alcohol might be partially liable. For instance, if a restaurant served an already-intoxicated truck driver more alcohol and then the truck driver was in an accident, the victim could file a claim against the restaurant as well as the driver.

These cases are further complicated by a gross negligence charge. When a driver of a commercial vehicle knowingly operates that vehicle while intoxicated, the driver is considered grossly negligent. This fact may help your case, but only if you have an experienced attorney who knows how to use it. The attorneys employed by the defendant’s commercial insurance carrier will do whatever they can to dispute any claims of gross negligence.

There are even technicalities in place that can make this exceedingly simple for them. For instance, some insurance policies are considered null if the holder of the policy commits an intentional tort. This means that you may not be eligible for any money if the defense attorneys succeed in presenting your case in a particular way.

In other words, you need a team of experienced personal injury attorneys to make sure your case is seen for what it is. The attorneys at Grossman Law Offices in Dallas have twenty years of experience with cases just like yours. An experienced intoxicated truck driver accident attorney can help you secure the compensation you deserve and bring the negligent parties responsible for your injuries to justice.
