Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers
Civil justice for victims of impaired drivers.
A criminal DUI conviction punishes the drunk driver — but it does nothing to compensate the family they injured. A civil claim does. Texas law allows victims of drunk driving to pursue not only ordinary damages but also exemplary (punitive) damages designed to punish gross negligence and deter future conduct.
Under Texas dram-shop law, bars, restaurants, and other licensed providers can be held liable for over-serving a visibly intoxicated patron who then causes a crash. Social hosts who serve minors may also face liability. We investigate every source of insurance and recovery.
When a driver chooses to get behind the wheel impaired, Texas law treats that as gross negligence. Beyond compensating you for medical bills, lost wages, and pain, juries can award exemplary damages — substantially increasing the total recovery and sending a message.
We coordinate with prosecutors so that the criminal proceedings strengthen — not undermine — your civil claim. A DUI conviction can be powerful evidence at trial, and a guilty plea often establishes liability outright.
