Case Details
Our clients were the parents of a 21 year old Hispanic college student from Kilgore, Texas as well as the minor children of a single mom from Overton, Texas who were both killed by a drunk driver in a two-car auto accident on Highway 31 in Smith County, Texas. Our investigation revealed that, at the time of accident, the at-fault driver had just left a well-known East Texas bar. Our investigation also revealed that the bartender who had been serving the drunk driver did not have a valid T.A.B.C. server’s license and had been doing shots with the drunk and other patrons. The bartender had continued to serve the drunk driver well after he was clearly intoxicated. After filing a lawsuit against the local bar for what is known as “dram shop” liability, the bar and the insurance company for the drunk driver paid out over one million dollars to the victims of the drunk driving car wreck. Both of our clients’ families received over $300,000 in financial compensation.
