Drunk Driving Accident Attorney in Dallas-Fort Worth

Drunk driving accidents are among the most devastating and frustrating types of collisions because they are entirely preventable. When someone chooses to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they put everyone on the road at risk. If you or a loved one has been injured by an intoxicated driver in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you need a drunk driving accident attorney in DFW who understands both the emotional and legal complexities of these cases.

How Drunk Driving Accidents Differ From Other Collisions

Accidents involving intoxicated drivers present unique circumstances that distinguish them from typical auto accidents:

Enhanced Legal Liability

When a driver operates a vehicle while intoxicated, their actions typically constitute gross negligence rather than simple negligence. This distinction is important because:

As an experienced DFW drunk driving accident lawyer, Jennifer Kashar knows how to leverage these factors to strengthen your case and maximize your recovery.

Criminal and Civil Proceedings

Drunk driving accidents often involve parallel legal processes:

1. Criminal prosecution handled by the state against the intoxicated driver
2. Civil claims pursued by the victim for personal injuries and property damage

While these proceedings are separate, the criminal case can provide valuable evidence for your civil claim. A Dallas-Fort Worth drunk driving accident attorney from The Kashar Law Firm, P.C. can coordinate with criminal prosecutors while independently building your civil case for compensation.

Multiple Potential Defendants

In drunk driving cases, liability may extend beyond just the intoxicated driver. Texas dram shop laws may allow you to hold establishments responsible if they served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who later caused your accident. Potential liable parties may include:

An experienced Dallas-Fort Worth drunk driving accident lawyer knows how to identify all potentially liable parties to ensure you receive full compensation.

Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents

Because intoxicated drivers often fail to take evasive action before impact, drunk driving accidents frequently result in high-speed, direct collisions. These crashes commonly cause:

These serious injuries require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and sometimes lifelong care. The Kashar Law Firm, P.C. will work diligently to ensure your compensation accounts for both current and future medical needs.

Compensation in Drunk Driving Accident Cases

If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver in Texas, you may be entitled to several types of compensation:

Economic Damages

Non-Economic Damages

Punitive Damages

Unlike many accident cases, drunk driving victims may also qualify for punitive (or exemplary) damages, which are designed to punish particularly reckless behavior and deter others from similar conduct.

As your drunk driving accident attorney in Dallas-Fort Worth, Jennifer Kashar will carefully calculate the full extent of your damages to ensure you don’t settle for less than you deserve.
