Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
Pursuing maximum compensation from every responsible party across North Texas
Being injured by a drunk driver is infuriating. These crashes are entirely preventable, and they cause devastating harm. Drunk driving victims often have stronger legal claims than other injury victims because the at-fault driver's intoxication is powerful evidence of negligence and can support additional recovery that other injury cases cannot.
These crashes happen across the Dallas-Fort Worth area every day, near entertainment districts and bar corridors, downtown nightlife areas and event venues, and on major highways like I-20, I-30, I-35, and SH-360 during holiday and weekend traffic. The Injury Avengers represent drunk driving accident victims across the Dallas-Fort Worth area and pursue every available source of compensation. In some cases, that may include claims not only against the intoxicated driver, but also against a licensed alcohol provider if the facts support a Texas dram shop claim. We also evaluate whether the evidence may support exemplary damages and pursue every legally supported avenue of recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to wait for the criminal case to be resolved?
No. Your civil injury claim runs on a separate legal track from any criminal prosecution. Injured victims generally do not need to wait for a criminal case to conclude before pursuing compensation. In fact, acting early can help preserve evidence, witness accounts, and documentation that strengthens your civil claim.
What is dram shop liability?
Under the Texas Dram Shop Act, a licensed alcohol provider may face liability when it served a person who was obviously intoxicated to the extent they presented a clear danger to themselves and others, and that intoxication contributed to causing your crash. These claims require specific evidence and are not automatic, but when the facts support it, a dram shop claim can add a significant source of compensation on top of the drunk driver's own liability.
Can I recover exemplary damages from a drunk driver?
Texas allows exemplary damages in cases where the defendant's conduct involved gross negligence or malice. Drunk driving can support an exemplary-damages claim depending on the facts and the available proof, including the level of intoxication, prior conduct, and the circumstances of the crash. We evaluate this issue carefully in every case.
How long do I have to file a drunk driving accident lawsuit in Texas?
Texas generally gives you two years from the date of the crash to file suit. Waiting can hurt your case. Blood-test and breath-test evidence, criminal file records, and witness accounts can become harder to obtain over time. Contact a drunk driving accident attorney as soon as possible.
