Drunk driving penalties are criminal matters pursued by Texas law enforcement. Pursuing a drunk driver for another driver or vehicle occupant’s injuries is a civil matter, which is completely separate from their criminal consequences. Our skilled Houston car accident attorneys will begin your personal injury claim by pursuing the drunk driver’s insurance coverage for your complete recovery needs. If he or she is convicted of drunk driving in a criminal court, it may help strengthen our case for success, but the two cases will unfold separately.
