Commentary
When a serious crash involves alcohol, as officials suggest this one might, there’s often more to investigate than just what happened on the road. One of the most important but least asked questions is where the alcohol came from. If someone was over-served while already obviously intoxicated, the provider may share in the responsibility for what followed.
That’s what Texas dram shop law is designed to address. If a negligent alcohol provider over-serves someone, and that leads to the person getting themselves or others hurt, Texas law allows for those negligent alcohol providers to be held accountable. If authorities are too hasty in moving on from these investigations, they might overlook important details like that.
If alcohol is confirmed here, it's worth considering whether this crash was preventable long before anyone got on the freeway.
Key Takeaways:
- If alcohol contributed to the crash, it's important to ask where it was consumed and whether it was served lawfully.
- Texas law holds alcohol providers accountable if they over-serve someone who is obviously intoxicated.
- Full accountability often involves looking beyond the driver to understand how a crash happened.
