Some people call them alcohol-related car accidents. Others refer to them as drunk-driving accidents.
At Scott H. Palmer, PC., we believe that when someone drinks, gets behind the wheel of a car or truck and hurts or kills someone, it is not an accident. This type of reckless behavior is a crime.
It is an especially horrific crime when the driver was arrested for DUI in the past and continued to jeopardize other people's safety.
The attorneys at our Dallas-area law firm can advocate for victims of drunk-driving accidents in civil court and criminal court. We can also help our clients apply for reimbursement of expenses from the Texas Crime Victim's Compensation Fund.
We are dedicated to helping victims of drunk driving recover — physically, financially and emotionally after an alcohol-related car accident. Our lawyers have the legal skills needed to recover maximum compensation for personal injury and wrongful death.
Liquor Liability: Holding Bars Responsible for Injuries and Death Caused by the Illegal Sale of Alcohol
In addition to claims against the intoxicated driver, drunk-driving victims may be able to obtain compensation from bars, restaurants and other places which sell beer, wine and hard liquor.
Under Texas's dram shop laws, bars which illegally serve alcohol to people who are obviously intoxicated can be held liable if they then get in a car and kill or maim innocent people.
Contact our firm to speak with an experienced lawyer who cares about you and your future. We never charge attorney fees or costs in personal injury or wrongful death cases, unless we are able to obtain a recovery for you.
