The Reality of Drunk Driving in Dallas

Dallas is a vibrant city known for nightlife, sports, and a thriving restaurant scene — but that also means increased risk for alcohol-related accidents. Some of the most dangerous times on the road include:

Nights and weekends
Holidays (especially New Year's, July 4th, and Thanksgiving)
Post-sporting events or concerts
Around entertainment districts like Deep Ellum and Uptown

According to the NHTSA, nearly 40% of traffic fatalities in Texas involve alcohol. These aren’t just statistics — they represent lives shattered by reckless choices.

How Alcohol Impairs Drivers and Causes Crashes

Even a small amount of alcohol can impact a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely. As blood alcohol content (BAC) rises, the risk of serious mistakes skyrockets.

Common effects of alcohol impairment include:

Delayed reaction time – Makes it harder to brake, steer, or avoid hazards
Poor decision-making – Increases reckless behaviors like speeding or running red lights
Blurred vision and dulled hearing – Limits ability to sense surrounding dangers
Lack of concentration – Leads to drifting between lanes or missing traffic signals
Drowsiness or falling asleep at the wheel – A leading cause of deadly crashes

Even drivers below the legal BAC limit can be dangerously impaired. Every drunk driving crash is 100% preventable — and the at-fault driver must be held accountable.

Common Drunk Driving Accident Types

Drunk drivers often cause violent, unpredictable collisions, such as:

Rear-end crashes – Common in stop-and-go traffic, intersections, or red lights
Head-on collisions – Often fatal; typically result from drivers drifting or entering the wrong lane
T-bone accidents – Caused by running red lights or ignoring right-of-way
Sideswipes – Occur when impaired drivers veer into neighboring lanes
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents – Particularly deadly in urban areas
Wrong-way crashes – Drunk drivers may enter highways or streets against traffic flow

Regardless of how the accident occurred, if you were injured by an intoxicated driver, our legal team can help you build a strong claim for compensation.

Proving Liability in a Dallas Drunk Driving Case

While a driver being intoxicated supports your case, proving fault still requires evidence. Our Dallas drunk driving lawyers will investigate every detail to establish negligence, including:

Police crash reports and DUI charges
Field sobriety and BAC test results
Eyewitness statements
Surveillance or dashcam footage
Toxicology reports and expert testimony

In some cases, we may also pursue dram shop claims against bars or establishments that overserved the driver. Our job is to identify every liable party and fight for the full compensation you deserve — and we do not back down.

Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents

These collisions often result in catastrophic harm. Our clients frequently suffer:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Broken bones

Severe lacerations or burns
Internal bleeding or organ damage

Amputations
Wrongful death

These injuries can result in long-term pain, financial instability, and emotional trauma. You don’t have to face the aftermath alone — we’re here to fight for your recovery.

Compensation Available in Drunk Driving Injury Cases

Every case is unique, but victims of drunk drivers may be entitled to damages including:

Medical bills (ER visits, surgery, physical therapy, medication)
Future medical expenses
Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress and mental health care
Property damage
Funeral and burial costs (in fatal accident cases)

In particularly egregious cases, we may pursue punitive damages — designed to punish the drunk driver and deter future misconduct.
