A motor vehicle accident injury case caused by a drunk driver is different from other car collisions cases because when a victim is injured by a drunk driver, the victim can pursue a gross negligence claim. Gross negligence is defined as an act or omission that is viewed objectively from the standpoint of the bad actor at the time of the occurrence. It involves an extreme degree of risk such as driving drunk, considering the probability and magnitude of the potential harm to others which the actor has an actual and subjective awareness. A seasoned Fort Worth drunk driver accident lawyer could gather evidence to prove the defendant’s negligence in court.
