According to the United States Department of Transportation, in the United States, approximately thirty (30) people die every day from drunk driving accidents.   Also, driving while drunk or intoxicated is a crime and can be prosecuted by the local District Attorney’s Office.  However, the criminal charges will not get the compensation needed for the victims of drunk driving.  To get maximum compensation, injured drunk driving accident victims need to call a Houston Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer at Molina Law Firm to immediately begin the accident investigation.

A car accident caused by a drunk driver usually causes serious injuries to innocent victims.  Drunk drivers have slower reaction times, are not aware of their surroundings, and have impaired cognitive functions.  Yet, drunk drivers still manage to get behind the wheel, which can lead to an auto accident with serious injuries.   In Texas, it is illegal to drive a car or boat with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or more.   It is also illegal to drive drunk if you do not have the normal use of you mental of physical abilities.  Also, if you are younger than 21 years old, you cannot drive with any detectable amount of alcohol in your body.  Yet, drunk driving accidents unfortunately continue to happen and these accidents continue to make the daily news. Hopefully, you will not ever need a drunk driving accident lawyer, but if you do, then call Rick Molina today!
