Labor Day weekend can be a great time to kick back and enjoy some drinks at a barbecue, but not everyone is so responsible about it. As a result, this long weekend can be a dangerous time to be on the road and crashes are common. If you or a loved one have been injured in a Labor Day car accident, you may be entitled to compensation. A Corpus Christi, Texas drunk driving accident lawyer from our firm may be able to help you.
Are Drunk Driving Accidents Common During Labor Day Weekend?
Unfortunately, they are. This can be one of the deadliest weekends of the year in many areas of the country. Texas, along with California and Florida, has the dubious honor of having some of the highest fatal crash numbers on Labor Day weekends stretching from 2012 to 2021.
Even survivors of Labor Day accidents can end up suffering from serious injuries that affect their ability to work and enjoy their life. If this sounds like your situation, why should you be stuck paying for medical bills and other expenses for the accident? It’s time to hold the parties who caused the crash accountable.
Can I Sue For Compensation After a Labor Day Car Accident?
A lawyer from our firm can help you gather evidence and build a convincing case against an irresponsible driver or anyone else who contributed to a car crash and your injuries. Whether you need to find surveillance footage of the crash or figure out where the drunk driver who hit you was overserved, we’re ready to assist you by calculating fair compensation and negotiating with insurers. A serious offer should help make up for things like:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning potential
- Loss of enjoyment
- Pain and suffering
- Property damages
If your loved one passed away in a drunk driving accident over Labor Day weekend, we can help you and your family sue for wrongful death damages.
Can I Sue the Store or Bar That Sold a Drunk Driver Alcohol?
Texas does have something known as “dram shop” laws. This means that an establishment that overserves a customer who is clearly already intoxicated can potentially be sued if that customer leaves and causes harm to someone else because of their intoxication. Similar rules apply to hosts of parties when minors consume too much alcohol and go on to hurt someone.
We can help you figure out if suing a bar or host is an option in your case. Having multiple parties to sue for damages can complicate matters, but we want to make sure that we help you explore all avenues for compensation.
