Texas DWI Accidents FAQs
If you have been struck by a drunk driver, you may have no idea what to do or how you can receive financial compensation. Let us clear up some common points of confusion so you can take swift action toward a settlement.
Answer: As with any car accident, you should pull over your vehicle to a safe spot. Then, check for injuries. If anyone in the vehicle is hurt, you should request medical attention in addition to calling 911. It is a good idea to go to an emergency room to ensure that your injuries receive adequate attention. While you wait for the authorities to arrive, you should exchange insurance information with the other driver and take pictures of the accident, if possible. When the officer arrives on the scene, he or she will write up a police report, which will be a vital piece of evidence that can play a role in your case for compensation.
Answer: If you are the victim of a hit-and-run accident, you can take certain steps to help ensure that you will be able to receive compensation. First, if you suspect the other driver is about to flee the scene, gather as many details as possible, such as the color of the vehicle, the make and model, and the license plate number. These identifying features can be used to find the driver after the accident. Our attorneys can also help obtain other evidence that may be used to identify the driver, such as footage from security cameras or traffic cameras. If the other driver cannot be found, you can make an uninsured motorist claim through your insurance policy. Insurance companies are unlikely to give you a full payout without a fight, but our experienced personal injury lawyers will fight to make sure you are rightly compensated for your injuries, mental anguish, loss of income, and other damages.
Answer: Texas has dram shop laws that may be used to hold bar owners or other parties accountable for over-serving patrons or providing alcohol that caused the driver responsible for causing an accident to become intoxicated. Our personal injury attorneys can collect evidence to build a case against these establishments, including receipts and witness accounts. We will make sure you understand all sources of compensation that may be available.
