Austin DUI / DWI Accident Victim Attorneys
Intoxicated motorists pose a danger not only to themselves but also to any persons on or near the roadway in their vicinity. Alcohol consumption impairs an individual’s physical and mental capacity to safely operate a motor vehicle, and while the criminal prosecution of DUI and DWI offenses can help to penalize the driver, it does little for those who have been harmed. Fortunately, DWI accident victims may also be able to pursue the matter through a civil lawsuit.
To discuss your legal options further if a drunk driver has caused you suffering, contact the Austin DUI / DWI accident victim attorneys of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., by calling 512-372-8100 today.
DUI and DWI Attorneys
In the state of Texas, both terms of DUI and DWI are used to describe certain drunk driving charges. When a driver is below the legal drinking age, they may be prosecuted for DUI, or Driving Under the Influence. Otherwise, intoxicated driving charges are filed as DWI, or Driving While Intoxicated.
In either situation, an intoxicated driver may be held responsible for the injuries they cause. Due to their intoxication, a driver can be held liable for the following:
- Colliding with another vehicle
- Colliding with an object, leading to another vehicle’s collision
- Swerving or weaving through traffic, leading to another vehicle’s collision
A successful civil lawsuit may be able to obtain financial compensation for medical bills, vehicle repairs, lost wages, and other damages caused by the intoxicated driver.
