Hear From Our Client, Sharon
Rocky Walton has been handling car accidents and DUI accidents since 1987. As he is deeply aware of the physical, financial, and emotional hardships that DWI incidents cause, he handles these and other car accident lawsuits on a contingency basis.
This means our DUI accident attorney does not charge a single cent upfront. He starts each case with a free consultation and only gets paid from a percentage of any settlement or verdict he obtains. He also helps to coordinate health care for victims of intoxicated drivers, offering letters of protection that allow them to receive needed medical treatment without having to pay until after they win their case.
Our DUI Accident Lawyer Has Won Many Major Cases
Rocky has repeatedly won major cases revolving around tragic DWIs. In one such case, a drunk driver of a company vehicle struck another vehicle stopped at a red light, killing children inside. The parents of the deceased came to our Arlington firm and we obtained a $1 million recovery.
We collected the full $250,000 available from the defendant's insurance policy in another drunk driving rear-end incident, where our client was severely injured on their motorcycle and required years of pain management treatment. Rocky and his team have also obtained $1 million recoveries in dram shop cases.
“Exceptional professionalism and expertise.” Hear From Our Clients
“The entire team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. They fulfilled their commitments and exceeded expectations. Moreover, they displayed remarkable patience and understanding, considering the language barrier with my non-English speaking father-in-law and my out-of-state status, as I served as the intermediary. We were exceedingly satisfied with the service rendered and the favorable resolution of the matter. I wholeheartedly endorse their services.”

Criminal vs. Civil DUI Accident Cases
Both a DWI and DUI conviction can lead to hefty fines, a criminal record, and even jail time. However, that often does little in the way of helping a victim. That is where a drunk driving accident lawyer such as Rocky Walton comes in.
Our personal injury attorney in Arlington, TX, works on behalf of victims and their families in civil court to recover damages that resulted from the car crash. In a civil case, drunk drivers are held responsible if their physical or mental faculties were compromised to any extent, even if they were not charged or convicted in a criminal court.

Who Is Liable for the Car Accident?
Our Arlington, TX, injury lawyers seek to hold all responsible parties accountable for a drunk driving accident. Depending on the circumstances of the case, several people may be liable for damages...
Drivers
The driver is clearly responsible for an auto accident and is liable. Their auto insurance company will usually pay out damages on behalf of the drunk driver.
Alcohol Vendors
Under the Dram Shop Act, establishments such as bars and restaurants that serve alcohol to obviously intoxicated patrons can be liable for a resulting accident.
Employers
An employer may be partially liable for a DWI-related accident if they were negligent in their hiring practices or knowingly allowed the driver to get behind the wheel.
Responsible Adults
If a minor acquires alcohol at a party or private residence, the adults who supplied the alcohol can be held liable for their actions.
We Have Won Major Dram Shop DUI Accident Cases
One of our clients was injured by a drunk driver who only had $20,000 in insurance coverage. We were able to make a successful dram shop case against the restaurant where he consumed alcohol.
