In the event that alcohol played a role in this tragic accident, an alleged drunk driver may be held civilly liable for the results of their actions. Additionally, if a suspected drunk driver was over-served alcohol at a bar or restaurant prior to an accident, a negligent alcohol-serving establishment may bear partial liability for an accident due to Texas dram shop law. In the event that negligent driving, as alleged by the reports of street racing, played a role in this accident, a reckless driver can be held civilly liable for the consequences of their actions, regardless of whether or not alcohol was involved and regardless of whether or not criminal charges are pressed. When negligent behavior by any involved party is suspected of contributing to an injurious or fatal auto accident, an independent investigation may be conducted in order to ascertain the liability of any of those involved parties.
