The Sobering Reality of Drunk Driving Accidents
Drunk driving is an alarming and careless act that can lead to devastating accidents, resulting in severe injuries, disabilities, or even fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 30 people die daily in the United States due to drunk driving accidents. In 2019, there were 10,142 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities, constituting 28% of all traffic-related deaths. Texas is no exception, as alcohol-impaired driving remains a substantial contributor to motor vehicle fatalities in the state.
Although statistics for non-fatal alcohol-related accidents are more difficult to determine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that in 2010, over 1.4 million alcohol-related arrests occurred for driving under the influence (DUI) in the United States. This staggering number underscores the troubling prevalence of drunk driving incidents across the country.

According to Texas Civil Statutes, drunk drivers can be held liable for damages, encompassing medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Furthermore, Texas law permits the recovery of punitive damages in drunk driving cases, which aim to penalize the at-fault driver and discourage future drunk driving behavior.
