What to Do After A Drunk Driving Accident in San Antonio

Being hit by a drunk driver is terrifying, and knowing what to do next can make a major difference in your case. Call 911 immediately and make sure law enforcement responds to the scene. If you’re able, document the other driver’s behavior, take photos of the damage, and get contact information from any witnesses. Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel okay at first. Do not engage with the other driver’s insurance company before speaking to an attorney. Drunk driving accident cases often involve both criminal and civil proceedings, and a San Antonio drunk driving accident lawyer can help you navigate both to pursue the full compensation you’re owed.

Common Drunk Driving Accident Questions

Common Drunk Driving Accident Questions

Yes. If a drunk driver caused your accident, you have the right to file a civil lawsuit against them for damages, regardless of whether they face criminal charges. A civil case focuses on compensating you for your injuries, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Texas dram shop laws allow you to hold a bar, restaurant, or other establishment liable if they served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who then caused your accident. This can open up an additional source of compensation beyond the drunk driver alone.
Even if the drunk driver is uninsured, you still have options. Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may apply, and our attorneys can explore other avenues of recovery, including pursuing the driver’s personal assets or filing a dram shop claim.
A criminal conviction can strengthen your civil case, but it is not required for you to win. The burden of proof in a civil lawsuit is lower than in criminal court, so you can still recover compensation even if criminal charges are reduced or dismissed.
Yes. Texas courts may award punitive damages in drunk driving cases to punish the at-fault driver for their reckless behavior. These damages go beyond covering your actual losses and are meant to send a message that drunk driving will not be tolerated.
