Need Help With a Drunk Driver Accident?

The Accident Warrior at The Sewell Law Firm is experienced in handling cases involving drunk drivers.

In Texas, a person who operates a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated can be charged with driving under the influence. Under the Texas Penal Code, intoxicated is defined as having a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or above, while the threshold for commercial drivers is .04 percent or above. Moreover, drivers under the age of 21 are not permitted to drive with any detectable blood alcohol content. Lastly, even if the other driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) is not above the legal limit, that person can still be charged with DUI if there is probable cause.

The Sewell Law Firm believe drunk drivers must be held accountable. The firm’s investigators will conduct a thorough investigation to determine circumstances that led to the accident, obtain any polices reports including blood and field sobriety tests, gather relevant medical records, and also identify and interview any witnesses to support your claim.

The Sewell Law Firm has a fully bilingual, Spanish-speaking staff and takes pride in being available 24/7 to answer your call. If you’ve been injured by the negligence of another, call 713-432-0730 or fill out the FREE case consultation form on this page.

If your accident was caused by a drunk driver, the at-fault driver will likely have been arrested and charged with DWI. However, this is a criminal case. The victims of the drunk driving accident may also be able to file a civil claim against the driver on the basis of negligence.

Next, too many people place their trust in insurance companies when they actually have one goal in mind; to pay as little in compensation as possible.  If an insurance adjuster calls and asks for a statement, you should contact a qualified attorney before agreeing to a recorded statement or answering questions about the collision. 

The Sewell Law Firm often hears from new clients that they were never provided a rental or compensated for loss of use of their vehicle, that the vehicle was towed to a storage lot and has not been removed, or that they still do not know if the vehicle will be repaired or totaled out.  If you are experiencing any of these issues, you definitely want to speak with an attorney.

The Sewell Law Firm has extensive experience in cases involving drunk driver accidents, car accidents, truck accidents and other acts of negligence. The firm understands the legal issues in such cases and how to build a persuasive case for injured clients.
