Houston Drunk Driving Accident Attorney

Drunk Driving Information and Charges

In 2009, almost 50% of car accident fatalities in Texas were alcohol-related. Drunk driving is extremely dangerous and known to be illegal. If you have been involved in an accident that involved alcohol intoxication , it is essential that you speak with a Houston drunk driving attorney from our firm today. Due to the reduced reaction time for intoxicated drivers, drunk driving accidents can be exceptionally serious or fatal. Drunk drivers can speed, drive recklessly, the wrong way on streets or freeways and run through red lights or stop signs.

Texas uses the "proportional comparison fault" system for determining who is at fault for an auto or motorcycle accident. This system dictates that the person who carries 51% or more of the blame cannot try to get compensation from the other people involved in the accident. If one of the drivers in your accident had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over the legal limit, .08%, they will be held accountable, and you can pursue compensation from them for your injuries, financial losses related to the accident and pain and suffering among other damages . Contact our firm today to discuss your case and how to move forward with legal action.
