Houston, TX — September 15, 2024, Maimie Compean and one other were injured following a car accident at around 12:49 a.m. along Brittmoore Road.
Authorities said in preliminary statements that the accident happened in the area of Brittmoore Road and Clay Road.
According to officials, 36-year-old Maimie Compean was in a Toyota Camry going northbound on Brittmoore. From the southbound lanes, a Ford Taurus reportedly crossed the center line and crashed into Compean’s vehicle. Due to the crash, Compean and a passenger in the Ford had injuries.

The Ford driver was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. If that’s true, folks may think that means there will be charges, and that’s the end of it. There could be more to the story, however. In fact, there could be an accomplice who also needs to be held responsible: a negligent alcohol provider.
Any time alcohol contributes to an accident, it’s important to find out if the drunk driver was over-served. If a bar, for example, unlawfully serves someone who is obviously intoxicated, they could face criminal investigations, fines, a suspended license, or liability for the resulting injuries. Unfortunately, this is something authorities tend to overlook.
I’ve handled hundreds of cases against negligent alcohol providers for their role in a serious crash. I can’t count how often a bar only faced criminal investigations because we put the establishment on the authorities’ radar. Perhaps authorities here are being more thorough to confirm or rule out this possibility, but that’s not clear with the little information currently available.
