Identify Who is Responsible for Your Drunk Driving Accident

In most cases, a drunk driver is wholly responsible for the auto accident. There may be other factors, however, that establish another party’s liability. Our law firm can investigate the facts of your accident to identify all liable parties.

Some of the parties that may be responsible for the wreck and your injuries include:

A Restaurant or Bar Owner or Employee

A bar owner or staff member may have allowed the at-fault driver to leave the establishment knowing that they were unable to drive. As such, the party may share responsibility for the accident.

A Homeowner or Other Host

A host who offers alcohol at a private event could share liability for allowing the intoxicated driver to get in the vehicle.

The Individual Who Provided Drugs or Alcohol to a Minor

If a bar employee, parent, or other individual gives alcohol to a minor, they could be partly liable for your accident and injuries. By Texas law, parents who provide alcohol to minor children must be visibly present.

A Business Owner or Employer

An owner or manager of a business may employ a driver with a known drinking problem, or they may have failed to screen the driver properly.

Establishing liability for your injuries depends on the facts of your case. Please call us at 713-850-8600 for a legal consultation with a drunk driving attorney.
