Drunk Driver Accident Injuries
Impaired driving turns an ordinary trip into a life-altering event in an instant. If a drunk or impaired driver caused your injury, you have the right to hold them fully accountable — both in the criminal system and in a civil claim for what you've lost.
Holding Impaired Drivers Accountable
Alcohol and drug impairment slows reaction time, narrows judgment, and turns routine driving decisions into dangerous ones. When a driver chooses to get behind the wheel while impaired, the resulting collisions are frequently more severe — higher speeds at the moment of impact, delayed braking, and a driver who often never saw the crash coming.
A civil injury claim moves on a different track than any criminal DWI case, and it doesn't depend on a conviction. Jason works to secure evidence early — police reports, blood alcohol results, witness statements — while it's still available, and pursues full compensation for medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.
How These Cases Differ
- Often involve punitive as well as compensatory damages
- Criminal case & civil claim proceed separately
- Police & toxicology reports are critical early evidence
- May involve dram shop liability against a bar or venue
- Frequently result in more severe injuries
What Makes These Cases Different
Preventable, Not Accidental
Impaired driving is a choice, not a mistake — Texas law allows for punitive damages in cases involving especially reckless conduct.
Time-Sensitive Evidence
Blood alcohol test results, dashcam footage, and witness accounts need to be secured quickly, before they're lost or destroyed.
More Than One Responsible Party
In some cases, a bar, restaurant, or event host that over-served a visibly intoxicated driver can also share in the liability.
