If the allegations here are true, then the alleged intoxicated driver will surely have their day to answer for their actions. The question, though, is if any accomplices contributed to the accident. If, for example, alcohol was the intoxicant here, there may be a negligent alcohol provider who needs to be held accountable for their role in a woman’s death.
Simply put, Texas law recognizes that when a bar or alcohol provider over-serves someone who is already obviously intoxicated, they may share responsibility for the outcome. As such, there are legal avenues through which a victim’s loved ones can see those negligent alcohol providers held accountable for their wrongdoing. Not only is this a crucial step for accountability, but it can also clean up an otherwise negligent establishment’s act so they don’t go on to harm others.
Unfortunately, authorities often move on once there’s a driver to charge. I can’t count how many cases I’ve handled where a negligent alcohol provider only faced consequences because a family sought out input from professionals independent of the police. Perhaps authorities here have been more thorough to look at this crash from all angles. But if their investigations began and ended at the crash scene, there still may be a lot more to this story.
Key takeaways:
- Even when charges are filed, determining the source of possible intoxication can uncover deeper problems to address.
- If alcohol is confirmed, it’s important to understand whether an alcohol provider violated state law by over-serving the intoxicated driver.
- The law offers a framework for holding all responsible parties accountable—but only if questions get asked early.
