Drunk driving accidents are some of the most destructive and preventable accidents that we handle.
Nobody should ever have to suffer due to the reckless actions of a drunk driver.
Too often we see drunk drivers devastate families, friends, and even entire communities with their reckless actions.
People that injure, disable or kill others due to drunk driving need to be held accountable for what they have done.
You can trust that you will find our Texas drunk driving accident attorneys at McLaurin Law to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Critical Steps to Establish DUI at the Scene
f you suspect the other driver is under the influence, your observations in the first few minutes are vital for your future legal claim. While your safety is the priority, try to document the following:
- Alert Responding Officers: If you smell alcohol or marijuana, or if the driver’s speech is slurred and eyes are bloodshot, tell the police immediately.
- Watch for “Evidence Dumping”: Intoxicated drivers may try to hide or dispose of beer cans, liquor bottles, or drug paraphernalia in nearby bushes or trash cans before police arrive.
- Confirm the Driver’s Identity: Pay close attention to who exits the driver-side door immediately after the impact so you can identify the correct person to the authorities.
- Observe Behavior and Balance: Note if the driver is stumbling, acting aggressively, or seems unusually disoriented. If it is safe to do so, use your phone to record a video of the interaction; this footage can be a powerful tool when countering an insurance company’s denial of the DUI.
Seeking Maximum Compensation for Your Losses
In Texas, victims of drunk driving accidents are often entitled to more than just basic repairs. Because these accidents are entirely preventable, we aggressively pursue every available avenue of recovery, including:
- Medical & Rehabilitation Costs: Coverage for emergency care, surgeries, and future physical therapy.
- Lost Income: Restitution for missed paychecks and any permanent reduction in your ability to earn a living.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical trauma and emotional anguish caused by the crash.
- Punitive Damages: In many DUI cases, we seek “exemplary damages” specifically designed to punish the driver for their gross negligence and deter others from the same behavior.
- Wrongful Death & Funeral Expenses: Supporting families who have lost a loved one with the dignity and financial stability they need to move forward.
