We also let consumers know about legal news, including verdicts and settlements and other interesting legal information.

Have you been injured in a car accident caused by a drunk driver? You are not alone. The statistics show that thousands of people are injured in Texas each year in drunken driving accidents and unfortunately, thousands more die from their injuries.
The holiday season usually brings an onslaught of alcohol-related accidents, despite the known risks of drinking and driving. Approximately 40 percent of Americans are estimated to be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some point in their lives. According to a 2007 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 13,000 people were killed in drunken driving accidents in 2007.
A driver who has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10 or higher is seven times more likely to be involved in a fatal car accident than someone who has not consumer any alcohol. As the blood alcohol concentration goes up, so does the chances of getting into a serious car accident. For example, a driver who has a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 or higher, is about 25 more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a driver who has not consumed alcohol. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 67 percent of the deaths caused by alcohol-related crashes in 2007 were caused by a driver who had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher.
If you have been injured in a drunk driving accident caused by another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. You need to talk with a knowledgeable Texas car accident attorney to find out your legal rights and how much your case is worth.
