Any accident involving an alleged intoxicated driver can present unique challenges. This is because the intoxicated driver may not be the only responsible party. In Texas, alcohol providers may also be responsible for contributing to someone’s injuries.
Texas has dram shop law which says bar, restaurants, and other similar establishments can face consequences if they unlawfully over-serve someone. This can include potential criminal investigations, fines, suspended licenses, or liability for the injuries caused by the intoxication. Not only do these potential avenues provide paths for holding wrongdoers accountable, it can help get victims a fair resolution that action from the authorities alone may not provide.
So while few details are available about this accident, there are all too familiar red flags that should be followed up on. There may be more than just an individual intoxicated driver who needs to be held accountable for the victim’s injuries.
