Common Injuries From Drunk Driving Accidents

Every year, drunk drivers across Texas cause serious injuries to numerous innocent drivers on the road. Although no two drunk driving accidents are alike, many similar injuries are reported annually as a result of these life-altering accidents every year. Some common injuries that victims suffer from in drunk driving accident cases include:

Broken bones

Suffering a broken bone due to a drunk driving accident can be devastating. Due to these accidents, victims often experience broken arms, legs, or even collarbones. In severe cases, these injuries can require surgery and several months of therapy and rehabilitation.

Loss of limbs

Losing a limb can be incredibly challenging to overcome. Victims who experience these injuries are often forced out of work and have their lives severely altered. These injuries can result in overwhelming pain and suffering, both mentally and physically, and impact nearly every aspect of a victim’s life.

Spinal cord injuries

Spinal cord injuries are debilitating and life-changing injuries for victims. SCIs can result in paralysis, which can mean the loss of the use of both legs (paraplegia) or the loss of the use of both arms and both legs (quadriplegia). These injuries can be permanent or temporary, depending on whether the injury was complete (a complete sever to the spinal cord) or incomplete (some signals still get through to the area of the body below the point of impact). Either way, these injuries require extensive medical treatment.

Severe cuts and lacerations

There are many injury cases where victims suffer severe cuts and lacerations. In some instances, these injuries can result in extreme nerve and muscle damage, as well as permanent scarring and disfigurements. Cuts and lacerations can cause both physical and emotional harm.

Psychological trauma

Psychological trauma can be just as devastating as physical injuries. Victims of drunk driving accidents often suffer from anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other emotional issues. The psychological effects of a car accident can last for years and make it difficult for the victim to return to their normal life. No one should underestimate how much of an impact psychological trauma and the mental health challenges that arise from it can have on a person. Mental health can impact a person’s ability to work, have relationships, or enjoy life at all.

Traumatic brain injuries

A drunk driving accident victim who suffers a traumatic brain injury will most likely experience some cognitive impairment, making it difficult to return to work or school. In some cases, the injured party may require long-term care and assistance with daily activities. Physical and occupational therapy are often necessary to help the victim regain functioning and independence.

Road rash

Given the nature of this injury, road rash is typical for drunk-driving crashes that involve pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. It can also occur in accidents where the victim is ejected from their vehicle. These injuries are generally caused by the body sliding across the ground surface. Road rash is excruciating and can result in severe scarring and permanent disfigurements. In some cases, road rash injuries can become infected which can create a whole host of other medical problems requiring treatment.

Drunk driving accidents often result in significant injuries for those involved. If you have been hurt due to another driver’s intoxication and reckless actions, reach out to our Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer at Rasansky | McKenzie Law as soon as possible. Our team will help you aggressively pursue legal action against the at-fault driver.

Types of Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving is a serious problem that can have life-altering consequences. It’s estimated that nearly 30 people lose their lives every day due to drunk driving accidents in the United States. In Dallas, drunk driving accidents continue to be one of the leading causes of serious injuries or death.

There are several types of accidents that an intoxicated driver can cause. Some of the most common drunk driving crash types include:

Rollover Accidents: When drivers are intoxicated, they are more likely to lose control of their motor vehicle and roll it over. These accidents often result in serious injuries or even death.
Wrong-way accidents: This type of drunk driving accident often occurs when a driver goes the wrong way down a one-way street or highway. These accidents often involve head-on impact and typically occur at a high rate of speed, which drastically increases the likelihood of serious injuries.
Head-on collisions: Drunk drivers are more likely to lose control of their motor vehicle and cause head-on collisions with other vehicles on the road. This is often because alcohol can cause
Sideswipe accidents: A sideswipe accident is a type of drunk driving accident where the driver swerves into oncoming traffic or another vehicle. Drunk drivers cannot often keep their vehicles in the correct lane.
Rear-end accidents: When a driver is impaired by alcohol, their reaction time and ability to make split-second decisions are severely compromised. This can lead to devastating consequences if they are operating a vehicle. Not being able to stop in time to avoid striking a motor vehicle ahead can result in a severe collision.

Single-vehicle accidents: A single-vehicle accident is when only one vehicle is involved in an accident. This type of collision can occur when a drunk driver loses control of their vehicle and crashes into a tree, pole, or another object on the road ahead. Single-vehicle accidents can also occur due to a drunk driver falling asleep at the wheel. Falling asleep due to intoxication can cause the drunk driver’s motor vehicle to go off the roadway and overturn.
Multi-vehicle accidents: These are some of the most devastating types of drunk driving accidents. When a driver is under the influence of alcohol, they are more likely to strike one or more vehicles sharing the road. This is typically because alcohol impairs a driver’s ability to make sound decisions while behind the wheel. As a result, they may not stop in time to avoid striking another motor vehicle at a red light or stop sign or in a congested area.
T-Bone accident: Drunk drivers are more likely to run red lights at intersections or even blow through stop signs. They are also more likely to fail to yield the right of way to other vehicles. This puts other drivers at risk for a collision, especially at busy intersections. When drunk drivers fail to stop while traveling through intersections, they are likely to crash into the sides of vehicles that do have the right of way. Although these car accidents are more common at intersections, they are also prevalent in parking lots and on roads with private driveways with vehicles exiting.

Any drunk driving accident can have serious consequences for those involved. Many drunk driving accident victims are left with severe injuries that completely alter their lives.

If you have been harmed in a Dallas drunk driving accident, you should seek legal representation immediately. You may have legal options available to help you move forward. A Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer from Rasanksy Law Firm can help guide you through the drunk driving accident claim process and fight for fair compensation on your behalf. Contact our Texas law firm today to schedule a free case evaluation to determine the best course of action moving forward.

Six steps you need to take immediately after a drunk driving accident:

Call 911 and have them send emergency medical services to the scene of the accident. You want law enforcement to respond to the scene of the accident and create a report. This information can be critical in proving who the responsible parties are for the drunk driving accident.
Take photos of the accident scene, including skid marks, the locations of the vehicles involved, and other details. Document details such as injuries, damages to your car, and damage to guardrails. Information and evidence gathered from the scene can be some of the most critical information in your case. You must gather evidence thoroughly, as it can disappear rapidly once you leave the scene.
Obtain eyewitness testimony using your phone to record audio or video evidence. You must gather the names and contact information of anyone who saw the accident take place. Our team at Rasansky | McKenzie Law may want to reach out to each witness for further information and testimony while we build your case.
Do not try to move victims if you see that they are seriously injured. Do your best to keep them comfortable until medical help arrives. Moving an injured victim can make injuries worse. For this reason, you must secure the area but refrain from touching them.
Seek medical help for yourself promptly. Retain all medical records because you may need them later. You must undergo a thorough medical evaluation to determine the extent of injuries you suffered. When filing a personal injury case, you must have evidence of your injuries and the medical care you require when seeking compensation for injury-related expenses. This is one reason why it is so important to go directly to the hospital after your accident, even if you don’t know for sure if you are hurt.
Contact a Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer as soon as possible. After your crash, it is crucial that you have the strongest case possible when trying to make a financial recovery for your damages. Having the help of a skilled and knowledgeable Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer can make a big difference when it comes to proving your case and getting justice. You must file your case before the statute of limitations expires, and even more urgent is the need to begin building your case while the details are still fresh in the minds of you and any potential witnesses to the scene.

Do not speak to anyone asking you about the accident’s details. Most of the time, this will be an insurance company trying to offer you an unfair settlement or trick you into saying something that hurts your case. Refer all inquiries to your lawyer. When you retain an attorney on a contingency basis, you can let them handle all communication concerning your case, even though you don’t have to pay any legal fees until the conclusion of your case, when your lawyer wins you a fair settlement.

A Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer can guide you through the Texas civil compensation maze so that you can recover compensation for property damage, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other tangible or intangible losses you may have suffered. We will seek compensation from the drunk driver and, under certain circumstances, a third party, such as an alcohol vendor or social host, who provided the driver with alcohol.

Damages You Can Recover After a Drunk Driving Accident

You will likely face towering financial consequences if you have been injured in a drunk driving accident. Between medical bills and lost wages, not to mention any therapy or other care that you require to cope with the trauma you endured, things get expensive fast. For this reason, you have the right to file a personal injury claim to recover those financial losses, and our firm highly recommends that you do so.

Our team at Rasansky | McKenzie Law is committed to helping injured victims secure the maximum financial compensation for their drunk driving accident cases. We will pursue compensation on your behalf to ensure you have the money needed for the following:

Lost wages: If you’ve been injured in a drunk driving accident, you may miss time from work as you recover. We will help you recover lost wages so you can focus on your recovery. In the event that you can never go back to work, you may also have the right to claim lost future earning capacity.

Medical expenses: We will help you recover any medical expenses incurred due to the accident. This can include recovering compensation for your medical bills, future medical expenses, and even money to cover the medication or medical treatment you require. Whatever medical expenses you have related to the incident, our drunk driving accident lawyers will fight to ensure you get the money you need.p>

Vehicle repair expenses: If your vehicle or other property was damaged in the accident, we will help you get compensated for those losses. You can recover the money to replace your vehicle or fix the damage that was done to it as a result of the crash. Either way, our team will fight to ensure you can secure the maximum compensation for this damage.

Pain and suffering: You may be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering caused by your injuries. These non-economic damages can include both physical and emotional anguish. Emotional pain is very real, and the law allows you to be compensated for it if you were injured through no fault of your own.

Loss of consortium: Loss of consortium damages are intended to compensate an injured spouse for the loss of companionship and affection they have suffered due to the injuries that the drunk driver caused their spouse or significant other. This is also sometimes awarded in other close familial situations like the loss of a child or parent.

Lost earning capacity: This type of damage is meant to cover the loss of future earnings that you would have otherwise earned if not for the accident. To prove lost earning capacity, our drunk driving accident lawyers will work with financial experts who can determine the amount of lost earnings you face based on your chances of being promoted, your level of education, and various other factors. In the event that you are filing a wrongful death suit because your loved one was killed in a fatal drunk driving accident, you may be able to claim lost financial support if you depended on that person financially.

In some cases, you could also recover punitive damages. These non-economic damages are designed to punish the drunk driver for engaging in such reckless actions and prevent them and other drivers from engaging in these senseless and reckless actions in the future.

If you have been harmed in a car accident due to a drunk driver, contact our team today to get started on your drunk driving accident claim right away. Our personal injury lawyers at Rasansky | McKenzie Law can meet with you for a free consultation at your earliest convenience to determine what economic, non-economic, and punitive damages you may be entitled to.

Recovering Compensation for Loss of Quality of Life

In addition to the damages listed above, our team is committed to helping drunk driving accident victims recover the maximum amount of compensation possible for the loss of quality of life.

Loss of quality of life is a type of damage that can be difficult to quantify. It includes things like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. While there is no set formula for calculating these damages, juries will often consider the following factors:

The severity of the injury: How long will it take to recover? Will there be any long-term effects?
The age of the victim: A younger victim may be more likely to suffer greater emotional distress and have a longer recovery period.
The victim’s lifestyle: An active person who enjoys outdoor activities may suffer greater hardship from an injury that prevents them from doing those things than a sedentary person would.
Whether the victim was working at the time of the accident: If the victim was employed, they may be able to recover lost wages and damages for loss of earning potential if the injury prevents them from returning to work or advancing in their career.
The effect on relationships: An injured person may suffer strain on their relationships with their spouse, children, and other family members. The jury will consider if and how this has impacted their life in a detrimental way.

Reach out to our Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer immediately to schedule a free consultation. Our team at Rasansky | McKenzie Law will build the strongest case possible on your behalf and fight for fair compensation against the drunk driver who caused your pain and suffering.

Fatal Drunk Driving Accidents

There are many instances where victims end up passing away due to the injuries they suffer in auto accidents caused by intoxicated drivers. If your loved one has died in a drunk driving crash, you must seek the assistance of our dedicated legal team at Rasansky | McKenzie Law. Our team can help you file a wrongful death claim against the drunk driver to ensure they are held liable for their actions.

A wrongful death claim can help your family recover compensation for various damage you face. In addition to the aforementioned damages, after the loss of a family member, surviving relatives can also demand compensation for:

Burial and funeral expenses: When a drunk driver causes a fatal accident, the surviving family members may be able to recover funeral and burial expenses from the driver or the driver’s insurance company.
Loss of services: If you have lost a loved one in a drunk driving crash, you may be able to recover damages for the loss of their services. These damages are generally awarded to cover the loss of services that the decedent provided to the household they are no longer alive to perform, such as housekeeping, repairs, and more.
Loss of companionship: The loss of consortium is often one damage that surviving family members recover. This can include compensation for the loss of companionship, loss of compassion, loss of parental guidance, or loss of emotional support.

Reaching out to our Texas law firm as soon as possible can help to ensure you have the strongest case possible for seeking compensation for the damages you face.

The Role of Bars and Restaurants in Drunk Driving Accidents

Were you a passenger in a car where the driver was negligently served too much alcohol? Was your child killed after being over-served at a bar?

Drunk driving accidents don’t happen in a vacuum–the social environment plays a significant role. In Texas, bars, clubs, restaurants, and other establishments that serve alcohol can be held liable for a drunk driving accident if they continue serving an obviously intoxicated individual who later causes an accident. This type of liability is commonly referred to as “dram shop liability.”

Serving alcohol is a privilege and a responsibility, not a right, which is why a license is required in the first place. To serve alcohol in Texas, establishments agree to follow the rules set by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, which explicitly states when vendors are obligated by law to stop serving alcohol to a patron. Breaking these rules leads to dram shop liability in favor of the victim of any accident caused by the drunken patron.

If a drunk driver has hit you and you sustained serious injuries, you are likely to have a viable personal injury claim. If you or a loved one were injured in a single-vehicle accident with a drunk driver after being negligently served alcohol to excess, you may have a first-party liquor liability claim against the bar that sold alcohol negligently. In the unfortunate event that the accident was fatal, you may also have a wrongful death claim.

When you call on our Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer at Rasansky | McKenzie Law, we will listen to your case facts and explain your options free of charge. If we end up working together, we will operate under a contingency fee arrangement, which means you will owe us nothing until we win your case.

What You Should Know About Texas Drunk Driving Laws

In Texas, it is illegal to operate a vehicle while drunk. The state considers the act of driving while intoxicated as the act of operating a vehicle on any public road or highway with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or above. The BAC of a driver is generally determined through testing, such as:

A blood test
A urine test
A breathalyzer test

These tests are typically performed on a driver immediately after arrest or a crash occurs.

There are also instances where drivers with a BAC level under the legal limit can still be convicted of a crime. Drivers who are impaired in any way as a result of alcohol can still face charges of driving while intoxicated or DWI. These convictions are generally based on drivers consuming alcohol, drugs, or a combination of the two. So long as it resulted in some impairment, mentally or physically.

Some general signs of impairment include:

Glassy or red eyes
The odor of alcohol on the driver’s breath
Slurred speech

A driver who is impaired may engage in careless driving patterns. These include:

Driving too slow
Drifting between lanes
Speeding
Driving on the opposite side of the road
Running red lights or stop signs

Additionally, if a driver under 21 years old consumes any alcohol before operating their vehicle, they can be charged with driving while under the influence.

Knowing our state’s drunk driving laws can greatly help your case. However, it is still in your best interest to seek legal representation from a Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you have the best chance of getting justice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I’ve been in a car accident?

If anyone is injured, you should call the local police at the scene. It is vital that a police officer be on hand to evaluate the circumstances, talk to witnesses, and take statements from people who saw the accident. If you are experiencing any pain or suffered any potential injuries, seek medical attention from a reputable doctor or go to the emergency room. The police will make sure your car is towed and properly taken care of.

Don’t feel compelled to take responsibility for the crash. It’s easy to say “I’m sorry” after an accident even when it wasn’t your fault, but using that language could hurt your case. Most every insurance company advises their drivers to refrain from admitting fault at the scene.

If you have any injuries.

Get the medical care you need ASAP. This should absolutely be your most important concern after an accident. Go to the doctor immediately after the crash and track any new health issues in the weeks and months that follow. Follow the medical professional’s advice and seek further/continued treatment if at all necessary. Keep records of your damages. File away medical bills, medical records, and any other paperwork related to the accident.
Speak with an attorney about your legal options (free consultation). Personal injury attorneys will handle your car accident case at no cost to you, letting you focus on recovering instead of fighting the insurance company.
DO NOT talk with the other driver’s insurance company! Instead, refer them to your lawyer and ask that any further communication be directed to your attorney. Insurance companies will use every trick in the book to reduce the value of your potential claim if you are not represented.

If you have NOT been injured.

Take pictures and then exchange contact information with all other drivers involved. If there are any witnesses, obtain all of their contact information. Remember to write down the other driver’s insurance company, his license plate number, driver’s license number, address, and insurance policy number.
Inform your insurance company within 24 hours of the accident so that they can begin filing claims.

Do I need a lawyer if I’ve been in a car accident?

If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, then it is highly recommended that you talk to an attorney. If you personally have not won a lawsuit against an insurance company before, they’re simply not worried about you filing a lawsuit. They have no reason to fairly negotiate with someone who will not beat them in court. When you’re represented by an experienced attorney, they take your claim much more seriously.

Not only is this period stressful, but it’s also emotionally draining. Unwittingly, motorists can give incriminating statements, incorrectly assume a degree of guilt, and fail to provide evidence all at the prodding of an opposing insurance agent. Insurance agents are in business of saving their employer money. They actively discourage court proceedings and will attempt to settle out of court for a fraction of what you’re owed before you have time to speak with a lawyer. When your livelihood is on the line, you simply cannot handle an injury case by yourself. You will be taken advantage of.

Legal experience is irreplaceable.

There are a million reasons why you need a lawyer if you’ve been injured in a car accident, but the most important is that we do this every day. We know how to work with the insurance companies, and we know how to get our clients the cash they truly deserve. If you were to try and negotiate a settlement yourself, trust when I say that you will not get a fair settlement offer. These adjusters use a thousand tricks to get you to settle quickly and cheaply, and again, they’re simply not afraid of your threats to bring a lawsuit.

Do you know how to file a Stowers demand? How about responding to a list of admissions? Do you know the procedures of getting evidence accepted into court? There are certain steps that need to be followed by anyone looking to bring a case to court. If you decide to go ahead and do it without a lawyer, your case might get thrown out simply because you lacked certain things that needed to be done before bringing it in front of a judge – and you only get one chance to bring your lawsuit.

The law is extremely complex. Lawyers, just like doctors, must go through years of additional schooling to learn the intricacies of law (not to mention learning specific case law and attending ongoing education). Surely you don’t believe that you can successfully handle a lawsuit. I mean, you wouldn’t try to perform surgery on yourself would you?

Proving liability.

A lawyer can be very helpful when it comes to proving liability. A favorable police report is not all you need to win your case (and oftentimes police reports are inadmissable due to the officer’s limited knowledge about liability law). You need an attorney who understand the intricacies of the law so that they can prove by a preponderance of evidence that the accident wasn’t your fault. A lawyer can provide references to cases as well as statutes and citations which will all contribute to you proving your case.

Rasansky | McKenzie Law is a Dallas car accident law firm with a team of experienced lawyers waiting to fight for your rights. Please call us at (214) 651-6100 any time of the day. We’ll help you win your case and won’t charge you a single cent unless we win you money. That’s right: no win = no fee. Talk to us today and we’ll get started on your case as soon as possible.

Do I need a lawyer if I’ve been INJURED in an accident?

If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, a Texas personal injury attorney can help you understand your rights as well as whether or not you have a viable claim for damages. An experienced attorney can also navigate the process of securing compensation for your injuries, from negotiating with the insurance companies to representing you in court.

Many Dallas car accident law firms, including this one, offer car accident victims free consultation so that they can get their questions answered and better understand their case.

Who should I speak to after a car accident?

It can be difficult to know who to speak with in the minutes, days, and hours after a car accident. In addition, in the confusion following a crash, you may speak without thinking or say something you don’t mean which can end up hurting your case.

While it is important to speak with both the other drivers involved in your crash as well as the police officer who responds, be sure not to admit fault during these conversations or apologize. You may think you were at-fault, but later analysis could show that you both shared fault.

In the same vein, it’s important not to give an official or recorded statement to an insurance company before clearing your head, getting the medical attention you need, and speaking with an attorney. Generally speaking, a Dallas Texas car accident lawyer can look out for your best interests, as well as help you better understand your case and how to proceed in the wake of an injury accident.

When should I call a lawyer about my car accident case?

The first question is ‘do you really need a Dallas accident lawyer?’ If it is a simple accident with no injuries and very little property damage, you may not an attorney. On the other hand, it is always a good idea to speak with a lawyer when:

There is significant property damage
You have sustained serious injuries or long term injuries
You are unable to work because of your injury
A child was injured
A person has died
A person is left with a permanent or long-term disability
More than one party is at fault
You are accused of being partially at fault

It may also be a good idea to consult a Dallas car accident attorney if:

You may be partially at fault for the accident
You don’t know the value of your accident claim
You are asked to make a recorded statement
The insurance adjuster has made an offer that seems low
The insurance adjuster has offered a structured settlement
The insurance adjuster wants you to provide medical records that are not related to the accident
You are having difficulty documenting lost wages
The insurance company is stalling
Your claim has been denied

If you need a Dallas car crash lawyer, the best time to call is right away! The sooner you call, the sooner the attorney can start preserving evidence, filling out paperwork, and dealing with the insurance adjuster on your behalf. To learn more, request a free copy of Accident Claim Do’s and Don’ts or call the Rasansky | McKenzie Law at (214) 651-6100.

How should I choose my car accident attorney?

Once you have decided to seek the services of a car accident injury lawyer, you immediately have another decision on your hands: how do you choose the best attorney?

First and foremost, understand that you are not choosing the best personal injury attorney in Dallas, you are choosing the best personal injury attorney in Dallas for you. A lawyer that is perfect for your neighbor may not be perfect for you. Ask yourself: do you want an attorney who involves you in the process or not? Do you want an aggressive attorney or not? Do you want an attorney who is willing to go to court or not?

Secondly, visit the attorney’s website and verify his or her experience, legal background, and other qualifications. Has the attorney successfully taken on cases similar to yours?

Finally, take advantage of the attorney’s no-obligation consultation. Here, you can meet with your lawyer in person and determine whether he or she is the right fit for you. Understand that you absolutely do not have to work with an attorney after the initial meeting – it is up to you.
