Drunk Driving

Although popular culture advises consumers to drink responsibly, statistics demonstrate that alcohol consumption continues to wreak havoc on innocent victims. In March 2009, the Houston Chronicle cited a startling National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finding:  The 1,292 deaths in alcohol-related crashes in 2007 in Texas were the most in the nation.  Another 30,000 people were injured statewide.

Life changes in a split second

Without warning, a victim of a drunk driver faces a labyrinth of complex issues.  Each day could become a intense struggle to survive—physically, emotionally, financially, and even spiritually. Dreams vanish.  For the victim's family and friends, life changes as well.  Victims often require support and that can mean unanticipated, exhausting, and draining responsibilities. More dreams vanish.

All because someone chose to drink and drive.

Financial pressures mount

No one is ever prepared to be a victim.  Following an accident caused by a drunk driver, medical treatment and associated bills accumulate. Time must be spent in the hospital, at doctors' offices, rehab, and physical therapy.  Unable to work as before, the victim's income dwindles. Making matters worse, if the driver has no insurance, the possibility of financial recovery shrinks.

Only an attorney familiar with the victim's daily struggles, Texas law, insurance company policies, and the courts can get you the compensation you deserve. While financial compensation cannot restore your life to the way it was before the accident, you can gain greater peace of mind knowing you did all you could.
