As a Forest Hill personal injury lawyer, I have helped victims of alcohol-related traffic collisions form Tarrant County and throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex since 1991. No one ever expects to be in a car wreck, but the sad fact is that crashes happen in DFW every single day. Accidents caused by drunk drivers are particularly serious, and it seems that not a week goes by without a terrible wreck caused by an intoxicated driver being on the news.
Unfortunately, the bodily injuries and property damaged caused by a drunk driver are usually incredibly expensive. This can leave the victims of the negligent motorist in a terrible mess. They are often hospitalized in need of surgery and months of future physical therapy or chiropractic treatment, forced to miss work while the bills continue to pile up. Being injured by an intoxicated driver does not just result in a physical toll on the victim, but there is also the mental anguish as well as the extraordinary financial problems which follow.
The good news is that Texas law gives you the right to seek compensation from the at fault driver’s insurance company. Even if the drunk driver was killed in the wreck of their own making, you can still make a claim against their insurance policy. There might also be additional insurance against which you can make a claim. Your attorney will be able to help you identify these different policies, the most common of which are Personal Injury Protection or Uninsured Motorist Coverage which you might have with your own insurance companies. Even if you don’t have this additional insurance, there is still hope for recovering the full and fair compensation you deserve.
In Texas, there exists a Crime Victim Compensation Fund which victims of DWI offenders may be able to receive some monetary damages. Also, it may be possible to bring a liquor liability claim (also known a dram shop claim) against the business or individual who served the motorist excessive amounts of alcohol.
It costs absolutely nothing to speak to an experienced personal injury and wrongful death lawyer at the Anderson Law Firm. If you or someone you love has been injured in a traffic accident caused by a drunk driver (even if they were a passenger in their car) then you do have legal rights.
