What to Do if You Were Injured in a Car Accident Caused by a Drunk Driver?

In our line of work, we see the dangers associated with drunk driving. Unfortunately, there are so many people who drink and then get behind the wheel of a vehicle, putting not only their lives at risk but the lives of every single person on the roadway. People who come to us who were involved in a drunk driving incident often do not know who could potentially be responsible for compensating them for their damages. Obviously, it could be the drunk driver and their insurance company, but there are other people who could also be responsible. In New Mexico, as well as Texas, which are states that we practice in, there are what’s called DRAM shop laws. These laws put responsibility on the seller of alcohol including bars, restaurants, convenience stores when they sell to an individual who was intoxicated.. We are incredibly experienced in prosecuting DRAM shop cases.
