The Colony, Texas DWI Accidents Attorneys

Aggressive Lawyers in The Colony Representing People Injured by Drunk Drivers

It is not always easy to account for the behavior of other drivers—especially if the other driver is intoxicated. If you have been hurt by a drunk driver in The Colony, a personal injury attorney can help you obtain a financial remedy for your injuries.

At Burress Injury Law, we are strong believers in justice. Whether they were drunk or high, impaired drivers should be held responsible for the harm they have caused to others. Our personal injury attorneys can advocate for you in negotiations, arguing for full compensation for injuries caused by an intoxicated driver.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim Against a Drunk Driver

Immediately after a collision with a drunk driver, you should inspect everyone in your vehicle for injuries. If anyone is in need of immediate medical attention, call 911 and request an ambulance. Otherwise, you can request a police officer to come to the scene of the accident.

While you wait for the officer to arrive, make contact with the other driver and move somewhere away from busy traffic, if possible. Upon arrival, the officer will write a crash report, which will identify the driver who was at fault for the accident. Your lawyer can obtain this report for you later as evidence for your claim. A police officer can also facilitate the exchange of insurance information between you and the drunk driver.

After the officer leaves, you should seek out medical attention at an emergency room or an urgent care center as soon as possible. A doctor can give you a full assessment of your injuries, which is important for determining the value of your claim.

What if the Drunk Driver Flees the Scene?

Intoxicated drivers may commit hit-and-runs to avoid criminal prosecution for their actions. If you see a drunk driver attempting to flee from an accident, you should document as much information as possible about the driver. If you manage to get a picture or otherwise commit it to memory, their license plate number can be immensely useful for tracking down the driver through the police.

If the driver cannot be found, you may have to file an uninsured motorist claim through your own insurance policy. Our attorneys can push for the maximum limits of your policy and help you look for other avenues of compensation.

Dram Shop Laws

Texas has dram shop laws that allow plaintiffs to take legal action against bars, pubs, and other businesses that serve alcohol, holding them responsible for their role in a drunk driving accident. Our attorneys can help you identify these businesses and file a claim to secure maximum compensation.
