Dallas Drunk Driving Accident FAQs

Get answers to commonly asked questions about our legal services and learn how Angel Reyes & Associates may assist you with your case.

What should I do immediately after a drunk driving accident in Dallas?

After a drunk driving accident in Dallas, call 911 right away and get medical attention, even if you feel okay. Ask the responding officer to document any signs of impairment and request a copy of the police report. Contact a drunk driving accident lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Can I file a civil claim against a drunk driver even if they weren't convicted?

Yes. In Texas, a civil personal injury claim is separate from the criminal case against a drunk driver. You do not need a criminal conviction to pursue compensation. The legal standards for civil liability and criminal guilt are different, and we can pursue your claim regardless of the criminal outcome.

Who else can be held liable in a drunk driving accident in Dallas?

In Texas, a bar, restaurant, or social host who served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person may share liability under the Texas Dram Shop Act. Our attorneys review all the facts to identify every party responsible for your injuries.

How long after a drunk driving accident in Dallas can I file my claim?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the crash. Dram shop claims have the same two-year window. Acting quickly preserves evidence and gives your case the strongest possible foundation.

How much does it cost to hire a Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer from Angel Reyes & Associates?

Hiring a Dallas drunk driving accident lawyer from Angel Reyes & Associates costs nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we win. Your first consultation is free.
