Driving Under Influence

A Lawyer Experienced in Drunk Driving Cases Will Defend Your Rights

Drunk driving accidents are one of the most common causes of injuries and death on the road. Sadly, Harris County, one of the most populated counties in the United States, leads the nation in per capita driving while intoxicated deaths, according to the antidrunk driving advocacy group MADD.

The likelihood that a person in the metropolitan Houston area will lose his or her life to a drunk driver is

1.5 times greater than in Dallas and four times greater than in Austin, statistics show. One in three Harris County residents will be directly involved in a drunk driving crash at some point in their lives.

Regardless of heightened awareness and advocacy against drunk driving, the frequency of accidents is devastating. Nationwide, every two minutes someone is injured and every 30 minutes someone is killed due to the negligence of a drunk driver, according to recent statistics.

Drunkdriving accident survivors often are left with emotional and physical trauma, as well as physical injuries and serious property damage.

Texas juries are typically not lenient in cases of drunk driving. Smith & Hassler represents those who have been injured in an accident involving a driver under the influence. We will help you get compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, repair to property damage, loss of time and money from work, and other accidentrelated costs not only from the driver, but also when the specific facts of the case permit, from the supplier of the alcohol.
