Dallas Drunk Driving Accident Attorneys
Skilled Legal Counsel Serving Clients Across Texas
Deciding to get behind the wheel of a car after having too much to drink is one of the costliest mistakes a person will ever make and can have devastating repercussions. According to the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB), Texas has the highest number of drunk driving-related deaths in the country. In Texas, a drunk driving accident occurs approximately every 35 minutes. The sad reality is that thousands of people’s lives are turned upside down because of the negligence of someone who gets behind the wheel after having too much to drink.
These types of accidents often result in serious injuries and death, causing unnecessary emotional, physical, and financial damage to the victims and their loved ones. While numerous agencies aim to educate drivers about the dangers of drinking and driving, thousands of people still opt to drive while intoxicated. Unfortunately, it’s that many people do not learn their lesson and end up becoming repeat offenders. An estimated 70% of impaired drivers in fatal car accidents have been convicted of a DUI or DWI before. This statistic shows just how serious drinking and driving is. Individuals who put the lives of others at risk must be held accountable for their actions. The attorneys at Duke Seth PLLC have represented victims of drunk driving accidents and are prepared to do the same for you. We understand how life-changing these types of accidents can be and will do everything we can to help you obtain compensation and justice.

Injuries Resulting from 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:
- Spinal cord injury
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Broken or fractured bones
- Whiplash
- Lacerations or bruises
- Paralysis
- Death
