The attorneys at Eberstein Witherite, LLP, aggressively protect the rights of innocent victims killed or injured in accidents with drunk drivers in Texas.

A recent study showed that 45 percent of the 3,504 traffic deaths occurring on Texas highways and roads in 2005 resulted from alcohol-related accidents, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Thousands of other victims must cope with permanent disfigurement, scars, or life-altering injuries due to these terrible and avoidable accidents. These victims are not only statistics because they are innocent people who have suffered death or injury, and they must deal with medical expenses, lost earnings and wages, and lost companionship in addition to their pain and suffering. Our experienced team of Texas drunk driver accident attorneys has helped victims and their families of these accidents acquire the payments they deserve for their losses.

Under the Texas Dram Shop law, a bar owner, business owner, social host, or anyone who serves or provides liquor to an visibly intoxicated person, including a business owner, bar owner, alcohol server, or social host, may be held liable for damages caused after the driver gets behind the wheel of their vehicle. In cases where the behavior is reckless conduct, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the drunk driver and the alcohol server.

The rules and regulations that administer legal responsibility for motor vehicle accidents caused by drunk drivers are complicated. The clients of Eberstein Witherite, LLP, have benefited from our team’s thorough knowledge of these laws, detailed investigations, and experience with the strategies that insurance companies use to dispute valid claims. With our help, many of our clients have been awarded large jury verdicts or considerable settlements.
