When authorities allege that alcohol played a role in a serious crash, most people stop at the obvious: the driver was drunk and caused harm. But that’s often only part of the picture. What tends to go unasked is whether a local alcohol provider contributed to the accident, as well. Let me explain.
In Texas, alcohol providers are legally prohibited from serving people who are obviously intoxicated. When they break that rule, and someone gets hurt as a result, those providers can be held accountable for their role in the resulting injuries.
Unfortunately, authorities often get tunnel vision in their investigations. They may take prompt steps to ensure a drunk driver is held accountable but then fail to continue the investigations to look for possibly complicit local establishments. This can allow those alcohol providers to continue breaking the rules, and more people are bound to get hurt.
That’s why I do what I can to spread awareness of laws in Texas regarding who can be held responsible for contributing to a drunk driving accident. It’s important people understand their rights so they can make an informed decision about what path is best for their needs going forward.
