What DUI Means in Texas
There is zero tolerance for drunk driving in Texas, and anyone under the legal drinking age of 21 should have 0.00% detectable alcohol in their system. Per Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 106.041, it is illegal for underage drivers to operate a vehicle while under the influence.
If law enforcement catches them, they can face a driving under the influence (DUI) charge. They can also be charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level is at or exceeds 0.08%.

Drunk Drivers Must Cover the Cost of the Accidents They Cause, Including Yours
Penalties for driving while intoxicated (DWI or DUI) in Texas can include jail or imprisonment, as the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) notes. However, criminal penalties do not always help the victims of drunk drivers.
Our firm wants to ensure you receive complete coverage for your accident-related financial damages, including:
Pain and Suffering
Our Arlington personal injury lawyers often represent clients suffering from:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Emotional distress
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Physical scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of companionship
- Injury pain
- Impaired quality of life
Truck accidents often cause debilitating injuries. The unseen toll of your accident, including your pain and suffering, can be just as harmful as your physical injuries. Our team will account for the pain and suffering a drunk driver has inflicted upon you.
Lost Income (and Any Other Professional Damages)
The psychological and physical effects of a drunk driving accident can make it impossible to work, either temporarily or permanently. We will measure the professional cost of your car accident in Arlington, which may include:
- Loss of income
- Diminished earning capacity
- Lost opportunities for performance bonuses
- Lost progress towards potential promotions
- Psychological harm caused by worklessness
No drunk driver has a right to take your livelihood. If you’ve suffered professionally because of your accident, we will demand that the drunk driver or their insurer cover your damages.
Accident-Related Healthcare Expenses
Our team will evaluate the cost of your accident-related medical services, including:
- Emergency services
- Hospital stays
- Surgery
- All doctor’s visits
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Medical equipment
- Rehabilitation
We frequently work with doctors and other medical professionals. We will account for all your accident-related medical services as we calculate a fair settlement.
Disability-Related Damages
Disabling injuries tend to cost more than non-disabling injuries, as these injuries may require:
- Medical equipment (such as a motorized wheelchair)
- The installation of ramps, lifts, handrails, and other features in your home
- Purchase a new, disability-accommodating vehicle
- A loved one to help care for you
- In-home caregiver services
- Long-term replacement of lost wages
The non-economic cost of a disability is also immense. Our team will identify all the harm that has come from your injuries, whether or not they qualify as disabilities.
Property Damage
Our team will seek compensation for temporary transportation, vehicle repairs, and all other accident-related property costs.
Wrongful Death Damages
If your loved one suffered fatal injuries in a DUI crash in Amarillo, our wrongful death attorney can lead your case to recover losses, such as your family member’s medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, and lost income.
