The challenge with alleged drunk driver accidents is that the drunk drivers aren't always the only ones who need to be held responsible. In Texas, alcohol providers can also face consequences if they unlawfully over-served that driver. Whether it's a bar, restaurant, liquor store, or even a gas station, establishments that break the law and contribute to drunk driving accidents can answer for their mistakes.
However, authorities tend to overlook this area of the law. I've handled more cases against negligent alcohol providers than just about any other firm in the state of Texas. The reality is authorities typically move on once there's a driver facing charges. But if a negligent alcohol provider gets to continue business as usual, more people are bound to get hurt. That's why accidents like this need thorough investigations behind the scenes to ensure all responsible parties answer for their actions. Is that happening here?
