DWI Accident Injury Lawyer - Abilene Personal Injury Attorney

Drunk Driving is a completely avoidable crime. Just a minor amount of preparing on the part of the offender could stop untold amounts of death and injury. When a person decides to drink and drive, they are deciding that they are more important than anyone else on the road and that the laws do not apply to them. This type of careless and negligent behavior is astoundingly selfish. 

Criminal Negligence

Since the act or driving drunk is considered a crime, when you hit and kill someone while drunk, the death will most likely be considered manslaughter. The aftermath for the surviving family members can be very hard, especially if the person who was killed provided most of the family's income. The remaining family members lives can be changed in the blink of an eye. All of this because someone didn't take a cab or call a friend.

Others can be Liable

 Sometimes other people can be held liable for the death involved in a DWI crash. A bartender who continued to serve drinks to a person who was obviously too drunk to drive might be held liable as well. Most places will cut a person off if they appear too drunk or maybe offer them water. However, one person could slip through the cracks.
