Giant Wins for All Injuries
Our personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of accidents and serious injuries across Texas.
Drunk driving car accidents are typically caused by impairment. Therefore, it’s important to understand how alcohol affects the human body. According to Alcohol.org, a leading resource on alcohol addiction, the physical manifestations at different blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels are:
Considering these effects on the human body, it’s easy to see how drunk driving leads to auto collisions. Even at the lowest levels of impairment, you may not be able to operate a car safely.
It’s important to note that the drunk driver might not be completely at fault for the crash. If an establishment—or Dram Shop—overserves someone, it could be liable for any damages the drunk driver causes.

Every year, the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) gathers data on drunk driving collisions in the state and publishes an annual summary on its findings. In 2023 alone, there were 3,867 fatal DUI crashes.
That same year, almost 14,000 people were hurt in DUI crashes, with injuries ranging from minor to severe. This number translates to just over 37 injured victims every day.
Though the other driver’s impairment may be the root cause of a drunk driving crash, your claim as a victim is based upon the legal concept of negligence. You may be entitled to recover compensation if you can prove the four essential elements of a negligence-based case, which include:
With drunk driving claims, it would seem that a chemical test or other evidence of impairment would automatically entitle you to compensation. Unfortunately, these matters are not that clear-cut.
Your initial step would be filing a claim with the other driver’s insurance company. Despite overwhelming proof that the car accident was caused by drunk driving, you may get pushback. The insurance company may dispute the severity of your injuries or put some of the blame on you.
Drunk driving accident lawyers are very familiar with these tactics, so they know how to respond to denials or low-ball offers on claims.
Your monetary damages in a drunk driving claim are based upon your losses, measured by how your injuries affect your life. With the assistance of a Texas injury attorney, you may be able to recover such compensation as:
These are your ascertainable losses, typically provable by invoices or receipts. Examples include medical bills and lost wages.
Losses in this category are more subjective, since they’re based upon your personal experiences as an injured victim. Non-economic damages may be pain, suffering, emotional distress, losses affecting your relationships with loved ones, and more.
