Common DWI accident scenarios in Corpus Christi

Drunk driving accidents happen in many ways, and each affects your claim differently. If you were a passenger injured by a drunk driver in Corpus Christi, you can pursue a claim against the drunk driver's insurance — and potentially the driver of the vehicle you were in. If a drunk driver ran a red light and hit you, the police report, arrest information, and related evidence may be relevant to civil responsibility but do not automatically establish the civil claim. A rear-end collision involving suspected intoxication in Corpus Christi should be evaluated from the collision-specific evidence. If the drunk driver caused the accident with no insurance, your own UM/UIM coverage may be relevant if it applies under the policy and Texas law. A DWI hit and run accident lawyer in Corpus Christi can help track down the driver — and if they're never found, UM/UIM coverage may also be relevant if its policy requirements are satisfied. If a suspected-intoxication collision occurred on I-37 in Corpus Christi, roadway speed and collision mechanics may be relevant but do not determine injury severity by themselves. And in the worst case, a drunk driving accident wrongful death in Corpus Christi claim can provide for a family that lost a loved one to a drunk driver.

Your legal rights after a drunk driving accident

After a suspected-intoxication collision, consider medical evaluation appropriate to your symptoms, report the collision as required, and document available scene information if it is safe to do so. If an insurer requests a statement, authorization, release or settlement, consider the request, available information and your rights before responding or signing. Can I sue a drunk driver in Texas? A DWI conviction may be relevant evidence in a civil claim, but it does not automatically establish every element of civil responsibility. The Texas Dram Shop Act may be relevant when its statutory requirements and causation can be established; the existence of an alcohol provider does not itself establish a claim. Exemplary damages in a drunk driving accident in Texas require the applicable statutory standards and supporting proof; intoxication does not make them automatic. Texas limitations and other deadlines depend on the claim and circumstances, and evidence sources may have different retention periods. Deadline questions should be evaluated under the applicable law and facts.
