DRUNKEN DRIVER/DRAM SHOP

Were you injured by a drunk driver?  If so, call us now at Metro 817-429-4299. If a driver has a .08 blood alcohol or more, the driver is considered intoxicated in Texas. If the driver does not have the normal physical and mental faculties due to consumption of alcohol or drugs, that person is intoxicated regardless of the test results snd even if there is no test done. If a driver is driving while intoxicated, and the intoxication is a proximate cause of the damages, the driver can also be responsible for punitive or exemplary damages, as well. These damages are to punish and are in addition to the usual damages. The driver's liability insurance is usually required to pay these damages to the extent of the policy.If the intoxicated person had been sold, served, or furnished alcohol at an establishment that has a license to sell alcohol for consumption, at a time when the individual appeared to be obviously intoxicated and a danger to himself and others, the establishment can also be liable. No punitive damages can be assessed against the establishment (Dram Shop) under current Texas law, but other appropriate damages can awarded.
