EXPERIENCED LEGAL REPRESENTATION

Austin, Texas Drunk Driving Accident Attorneys

Being involved in a drunk driving accident is frightening and life-changing. A decision was made by a drunk driver to operate a vehicle while under the influence. That decision changed your life and you need to hold that driver accountable. At Patricia L. Brown & Associates, P.C. in Round Rock, Texas, we will ensure that the negligent and impaired party is held accountable for his or her actions.

Managing Your Drunk Driving Accident Case

While the other driver deals with the criminal and administrative matters facing them, we will get to work on determining the injuries that you suffered as a result of being a victim of a drunk driver. If the drunk driving car crash incapacitated or killed an individual, then we will represent the family members in the drunk driving accident case.

While we handle your drunk driving accident case, your job is to attend to your injuries, whether that's periodic doctor visits, physical therapy, or surgery. Once you have recovered as much as you physically can and achieved maximum recovery, we will assess the long-term implications of your injuries and how they will affect your family life and career following the collision.

Detailed Investigations

Driving and criminal records will be reviewed. If the person has multiple drunk driving convictions or an overall poor driving record, we will use that information to prove negligence. The amount of alcohol in their bloodstream is also a factor as well. Your attorney will visit the drunk driving accident site and we will employ our experts to help us build your case following your alcohol-related crash.

Dram Shop Liability

Dram shop laws can also come into play in holding the bar or restaurant accountable for serving a noticeably inebriated individual that caused a drunk driving accident. They have a responsibility to ensure that their customers do not leave their facility and get behind the wheel of a car. In addition to a lawsuit against the driver, action can be taken against the owner of the bar or restaurant that negligently served that driver more alcohol.

Wrongful Death

There have been many cases involving a drunk driver killing another driver in a drunk driving accident. Those cases involve emotionally charged experiences and must be dealt with sensitively and delicately. At our firm, we will be a compassionate advocate and listening ear for those who lost their loved one due to the negligence of a drunk driver. If the family member killed due to the alcohol-related accident was the primary breadwinner, that future income must be factored in to determine the full extent of the compensation you deserve.

Prepared to Litigate Your Case

Personal injury cases involving drunk driving accidents usually settle, but we will establish your case as if we would be taking it to trial. The defense must know that we are serious and your injuries deserve compensation.

If you have been injured in a drunk driving accident or if you lost a loved one in an alcohol-related fatality on the road, you need representation. Insurance companies will present a quick and easy settlement for your auto accident injuries. Do not just accept what they feel your damages are worth. Let us determine that based on the law and detailed investigations. For more information or to schedule an appointment with a lawyer, please contact us.
