If alcohol did play a role here, it’s worth asking: Where did the driver get it? And were they obviously intoxicated when they were served? Here’s why that matters.
In Texas, it’s unlawful for bars, restaurants, and other alcohol providers to serve people who are obviously intoxicated. If they do so, and that leads to a serious accident, the alcohol provider can be responsible for contributing to that accident. Not only does this provide an opportunity for victims and families to see some accountability, it also helps make the roads safer for everyone.
If it turns out that happened here, then this crash may not just be about one person’s bad decision behind the wheel—it might involve accountability for those who served that person, too.
Key Takeaways:
- If alcohol was a factor, investigators should determine where the driver got it—and whether they were over-served while already obviously intoxicated.
- Dram shop law exists to hold alcohol providers accountable when their negligence contributes to a crash.
- Full accountability isn’t automatic—it depends on asking the right questions and pursuing the full picture of how a crash unfolded.
