The dangers of drinking and driving
Drinking and driving is a reckless decision that significantly reduces a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely. Alcohol affects the brain and body in ways that impair judgment, reaction time, and coordination—all needed for safe driving. Even a small amount of alcohol can lead to:
- Slower reaction times: Drivers under the influence take longer to respond to sudden changes, like a car stopping abruptly or a pedestrian crossing the road.
- Impaired judgment: Alcohol clouds decision-making, leading drivers to take risks they wouldn’t normally consider, such as speeding or running red lights.
- Reduced coordination: Drunk drivers often struggle with basic tasks, such as steering, braking, and maintaining control of their vehicle.
Even if the driver appears only slightly impaired, the risks are still high. Alcohol affects everyone differently, and any level of impairment can result in a serious drunk driving accident.
We stand ready to protect your rights, prove fault, and collect maximum tax-free payment for your injury claims.

Common drunk driving accident injuries
Drunk driving accidents can lead to severe injuries, many of which can have long-lasting effects on victims. Common injuries from these accidents include:
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Back and spine injuries
- Fractures and broken bones
- Internal injuries
TBIs specifically can lead to lifelong challenges, including cognitive impairment and emotional changes. Victims may also suffer from permanent disabilities that affect their quality of life and ability to work. Speaking with a drunk driving accident attorney can help you understand the full scope of potential damages, making sure you are compensated fully and fairly.
What damages can I recover after a drunk driving accident?
In Texas, drunk driving is a crime, and drivers who cause accidents while under the influence can face serious legal consequences. However, criminal charges alone won’t cover your accident-related damages. By pursuing legal action, you can seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Present and future lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
Drinking while driving laws in Texas
In Texas, driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a serious offense, and the law sets strict limits on the level of alcohol a driver can consume before it becomes illegal to operate a vehicle. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for most drivers is 0.08%. This means that if a driver’s BAC is 0.08% or higher, they are considered impaired by alcohol and can be charged with a DWI. For commercial drivers, the limit is even lower, set at 0.04%, while drivers under the age of 21 are prohibited from having any detectable alcohol in their system.
Why drunk driving accident cases can be complicated
When you’re hit by a drunk driver, you may think you have a clear-cut case on your hands since the other driver was clearly intoxicated and caused your collision. Unfortunately, drunk driving accidents often result in complicated legal cases for the following reasons:
- The drunk driver denies driving while intoxicated (DWI) at the time of your accident.
- The drunk driver challenges blood alcohol or other test results.
- The driver tries to blame you for the crash.
- The cop who administered the blood alcohol or another DWI test made a mistake.
- Multiple parties may be liable, including businesses that served alcohol to the drunk driver.
- The insurance company downplays the severity of your injuries
To successfully navigate these challenges, you need a legal team with experience in drunk driving accident cases. At the Cain Firm, we know how to address all the possible complications, ensuring that the drunk driver and any other responsible parties are held accountable.
