People typically think that when charges like this are involved in a crash, the situation is open-and-shut. After all, how could an alleged drunk driver not obviously be to blame? Well, it’s not that the drunk driver wouldn’t be to blame. Rather, it’s that they may have had an accomplice: a negligent alcohol provider.

To put it in simple terms, bars and other establishments can be legally responsible for contributing to a serious accident caused by a drunk driver if they unlawfully over-served that driver. This can include criminal charges for servers, administrative penalties for the establishment, or liability under Texas dram shop law.

A lot of people don’t know about these areas of the law, and that’s unfortunately not surprising. I’ve handled hundreds of cases against negligent alcohol providers, and I rarely see authorities investigating possible unlawful alcohol service after crashes like this. They’re usually content to just charge the drunk driver and move on. Doing that, though, only allows dangerous alcohol providers to continue business as usual, and more people are bound to get hurt.

That’s why I have to wonder if there’s more to this story. If the allegations here are true, it’s possible everything comes down to a single reckless individual. In my experience, though, digging beyond the surface and retracing the driver’s steps can reveal there’s a whole lot more going on than what initial reports say.
