Most people think of drunk driving crashes as something that happens late at night, but the truth is they can happen at any time of day. That raises an important question: Where was this driver drinking before getting behind the wheel?
In Texas, it’s illegal for bars and restaurants to serve alcohol to someone who is obviously intoxicated. Yet, time and again, we see alcohol-related crashes where authorities focus only on the driver and not on where they were drinking beforehand. If an alcohol provider overserved this driver before the crash, they could share responsibility under Texas dram shop law.
Getting to the bottom of these questions is about more than just accountability: it’s about making sure bars and restaurants follow the law to prevent more crashes like this one.
