Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When a serious crash results in injuries and alcohol is alleged to be involved, many people focus solely on the alleged drunk driver. But in Texas, the law recognizes that the responsibility for a crash like this one might not end with the people behind the wheel. That’s especially true if the alleged drunk driver was served alcohol while already obviously intoxicated.
Dram shop law exists to address exactly that kind of scenario. If the person accused of causing this wreck had been drinking at a bar or restaurant beforehand, it’s worth asking: did that establishment continue to serve them past the point of obvious intoxication? Was there a missed opportunity to intervene before they ever got behind the wheel?
These are the kinds of questions that don’t always get asked during the course of a typical crash investigation. Yet answering them could help shed light on whether others contributed to the chain of events—and more importantly, whether this kind of outcome could have been prevented.
Key takeaways:
- If alcohol was involved, it matters where and how it was obtained.
- Texas dram shop law allows for accountability if someone was over-served while obviously intoxicated.
- Uncovering that kind of negligence often requires a deeper look—one that most families don’t know they’re allowed to pursue.
