Injuries Caused by Drunk Drivers  

Dallas Texas Drunk Driving Injury Attorneys

Drunk drivers continue to injure and kill thousands of people every year on our nation's highways. In many cases, bartenders, restaurants, and liquor stores can be held liable when evidence indicates a drunk driver was knowingly served alcohol while drunk. At the law office of Clements & Clements, our lawyers hold negligent drinking establishments and servers of alcohol liable under Texas state dram shop laws. Dram shop laws allow injured people or survivors of those killed in drunk driving accidents to recover damages from both the drunk driver and those responsible for illegally serving him or her prior to an accident. In order to recover damages, the injured party must first prove that a bartender, restaurant, or liquor store served an obviously intoxicated person alcohol after he or she was already drunk. We have the investigative resources an experience needed to expose negligence on the part of drinking establishments and servers of alcohol in drunk driving accidents.

How do I know if a Drinking Establishment is to Blame?

The police report describing your accident should indicate whether or not the other driver was drunk or impaired. Once you hire us to represent you in your personal injury case, our attorneys then investigate what happened leading up to an accident. If we find out that the driver who hit you was drunk, our office takes a deposition from him or her to learn what they did in the hours leading up to the accident.

We subpoena's credit card records, bar tabs, and restaurant receipts to determine when a drunk driver was served and how many drinks they ordered. We review video footage from drinking establishments and interview witnesses who can verify whether or not a person exhibited drunken behavior.

Assessing Your Financial Losses - Injuries and Wrongful Death

Since most accidents crashes caused by drunk drivers involve head-on collisions, rear-end accidents, and impact at high speeds, injuries are often serious and sometimes fatal. In order to accurately assess the financial impact of our client's injuries, our lawyers consult life care planners and economists who provide cost data analyses of known costs associated with head trauma, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and burns. We evaluate losses associated with future medical treatment, lost earnings, and a loss in quality of life.
