Addison, TX — April 12, 2024, Loei Esmaeili and one other were injured in an alleged drunk driver accident on Marsh Lane at around 3:20 a.m.
According to initial details, the crash took place at the intersection of Marsh Lane and Arapaho Road.
It appears that 43-year-old Loei Esmaeili was in a Kia Forte said to be going southbound along Marsh. At Arapaho, it appears an eastbound Honda Civic ran a red light and crashed into Esmaeili. As a result, both Esmaeili and the other driver reportedly had serious injuries. Authorities allege that the Honda driver was under the influence of alcohol at the time. No further details can be confirmed.

If the allegations here are true, did authorities look into where the allegedly drunk driver got their alcohol? A lot of these early-morning drunk driving accidents involve drivers who were illegally over-served by a bar. Considering people rightfully want to see consequences after crashes like this, it’s important to know those alcohol providers can be held accountable for their role in the crash, as well.
Simply put, if an alcohol provider over-serves someone, and that leads to people getting hurt, the alcohol provider can potentially expose itself to criminal investigations, liability for the resulting injuries, and fines and license suspensions from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Despite all of these potential avenues, countless families affected by crashes like this who call our firm never heard the authorities even mention the possibility of a negligent bar. It was only after seeing the results of our investigations they learned how reckless some of these providers are and how important it is they face consequences before their behavior harms someone else.
Is this another situation where authorities are letting a negligent bar off the hook, or have they taken steps behind the scenes to see all responsible parties held accountable?
