DWI Accidents

Attorneys for the Victims of Drunk Driving in Texas

If you were hit by a drunk driver or a loved one was badly injured or died as a result of a car accident caused by a driver who was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the DWI accident and personal injury lawyer at Adame & Associates will work hard to get you the maximum compensation available.

DWI accidents are not like other car accidents. For one thing, who is to blame is not in question. If a person decides to drink too much and get behind the wheel of a car, the law considers them to be negligent. Also, unlike a typical car accident case, you may be able to recover punitive damages in excess of the money you need for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering or the loss of a loved one.

Dram Shop Liability: Another Source of Recovery for Victims of DWI/DUI

It is not only the drunk driver who can be held accountable for a DWI accident. In Texas, as in many other states, there is a concept known as "dram shop liability." In practical terms, dram shop liability means that if a bar, nightclub, restaurant or other establishment serves a patron alcohol when they knew or should have known the person was drunk — and that person then goes out and causes a DWI accident — the establishment can be made to pay damages to the victims.

Handling a DWI accident effectively takes two things: The legal skill to hold the responsible parties to account for their negligence — whether it is the drunk driver who caused the crash or the bar that contributed to the accident by over serving — and the passion to fight for maximum recovery and real justice for the victims. That is what you will find at Adame & Associates.
