What makes these cases different
How drunk and distracted driving cases are different
Phone and toxicology records
Cell-phone data, police blood or breath test results and witness statements can show what the driver was doing.
Bars that over-serve (dram shop)
Under the Texas Dram Shop Act, a bar or restaurant may be responsible if it served someone who was obviously intoxicated and a clear danger to others.
Exemplary damages
In cases of gross negligence, Texas law may allow additional damages meant to punish — on top of compensation for your losses.
A DWI charge doesn’t pay your medical bills
Your civil claim is separate from the criminal case. It has its own deadlines and can move forward while the criminal case is pending. We may use the police investigation as evidence.
FAQ
Drunk & distracted driver FAQs
Do I have to wait for the criminal case to finish?
No. Your injury claim can usually proceed on its own timeline. We may use the police investigation as evidence.
Will the driver’s insurance pay if they were drunk?
Usually the policy still covers the crash, up to its limits. We also look at your UM/UIM coverage and any bar or restaurant that over-served.
How do you prove someone was texting?
Through phone records, witnesses, video and crash reconstruction, depending on the case.
