Drunk Driving Accidents in DFW

Unfortunately, Texas has a serious problem with drunk drivers. In fact, our state has more alcohol related driving deaths each year than any other state in the US. Alcohol impaired driving accidents cause over 1,500 fatalities each year in Texas. That's over 45% of all driving fatalities on our roads!

If you are injured or have lost a loved one in a car, truck or motorcycle wreck caused by a drunk or impaired driver, then you have rights and should be compensated for your injuries and damages. A Fort Worth DUI accident attorney can help you put the pieces together and hold the responsible drunk driver and their insurance company accountable after your accident.

What Texas Law Says

It is against the law in Texas and every other state to drive a vehicle if you are impaired by alcohol. The legal limit in Texas is .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC).

Unfortunately, many North Texans ignore the law and get behind the wheel of a car after consuming alcohol anyway. Committing a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DUI (Driving Under the Influence) crime is a very serious offense.

Don't Let Insurance Companies Rush You into a Settlement - Victims of DWI Car Wrecks in Fort Worth Deserve Better

There is never an excuse for drunk driving. Drunk drivers knowingly violate the law and juries in Fort Worth and Dallas are not very sympathetic to them in court. Liability insurance companies know this, so when drunk driving claims arise, it is common for insurance companies to offer the innocent injury victim a fast, low settlement to get the case cleared up.

Don't be fooled into taking a low-ball settlement offer from an anxious insurance company. As a general rule, insurance companies will never offer you a fair settlement without a fight. If you were hurt in a drunk driving collision, you have already been the victim once - don't let it happen twice.

Consult an Experienced DFW Accident Attorney

If you're being hassled by the insurance company for the driver that hit you, it's time to consult an experienced drunk driving victim attorney in DFW. Don't try to fight the insurance company by yourself - leave that job to the capable hands of a Fort Worth DWI accident attorney. The DWI victim lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm in Fort Worth can help you get the compensation you deserve for your pain and suffering.

Our experienced drunk driving victim attorneys will coordinate with the criminal investigation to obtain relevant police reports, copies of testimony and any salient documents to help establish liability and prosecute your drunk driving case. While the civil case remains separate from the criminal case, your overall case can greatly benefit from an attorney who is familiar with all aspects of both the criminal and civil court systems.

Free Case Consultation

At the Anderson Law Firm, we offer a free, no obligation case review to any interested potential client. During this consultation, we'll go over the facts of your case and talk about how our lawyers can help you receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages and the pain and suffering that you experienced after getting hit by a drunk driver.

For a free consultation with a DWI accident attorney, please call the Anderson Law Firm at 817-294-1900 or contact us online.
