About Drunk Driving Accidents
Intoxicated drivers are not the only ones who have potential responsibility for drunk driving accidents. According to Texas law, an establishment can be held liable for serving an intoxicated person if: (1) the person being served was obviously intoxicated to the extent that he presented a clear danger to himself and others, and (2) the intoxication of a person was the proximate cause of the injured party’s damages. This is referred to as the Texas Dram Shop Law and it applies to bars, restaurants, and all stores that sell or serve alcoholic beverages.
There are many injuries that someone who has been involved in an accident with a drunk driver may suffer, including the following:
