Overview of Drunk Driving in Texas
In Texas, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. For drivers under the age of 21, the law is even stricter; any detectable amount of alcohol in their system is grounds for a driving while intoxicated (DWI) charge.
Importantly, a driver does not need to exceed the legal BAC limit to be considered impaired. If alcohol or drugs affect a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely, that can still be considered negligence.
What Compensation Can I Recover After a DUI Accident in Dallas?
After a car accident, you can pursue economic and non-economic damages from the impaired driver or their insurer. Economic damages account for the financial losses you have suffered, while non-economic damages address the personal ways this accident has affected your life.
Your damages award may include money for:
- Medical bills, both current and future
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring/disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
In DUI accident cases, punitive damages may also be available. These damages are designed to punish the drunk driver for their reckless conduct and deter similar behavior in the future. An experienced DUI accident attorney in Dallas can help you identify every category of compensation available in your claim.

What Is the Deadline to File a DUI Accident Lawsuit in Texas?
Texas law generally gives DUI accident victims two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death lawsuits, the two-year statute of limitations typically begins on the date of the victim’s death.
Missing this deadline can permanently eliminate your right to seek compensation in court. Reach out to our personal injury lawyers in Dallas as soon as possible to protect your claim and avoid any issues with filing deadlines.
