Who Can Be Responsible for a Drunk Driving Accident in Fort Worth, TX
After a drunk driving accident, liability does not always fall solely on the shoulders of the drunk driver. Other parties could be responsible, and our goal is to identify every one. This can mean the difference between one insurance policy and several, impacting the compensation available.
This may include:
- The drunk driver: Typically the first party responsible for any injuries or damages, absent another intervening cause.
- The driver's employer: May share liability if the employee was driving drunk after a company event or was working at the time of the crash.
- The establishment that served the driver: Under Texas's Dram Shop Act (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 2.02), a bar, restaurant, or other licensed establishment can be held liable for serving alcohol to a customer who was obviously intoxicated, if that intoxication was a proximate cause of the resulting damages.
