Commentary on Lisbeth Orozco Car Accident in Houston
If it's true that alcohol was a factor here, and if it's true the driver left the scene, it wouldn't be all that surprising. That kind of fact pattern is all too common. In Houston especially, folks are tired of seeing alcohol-related crashes plaguing their community. That's why it's important to know what options for recourse there are under Texas law. Besides the obvious charges a driver can face, it's also important to confront any negligent alcohol providers that contributed to the crash.

In Texas, dram shop law says that an alcohol provider who over-serves an obviously intoxicated person can be liable for damages resulting from that intoxication. Bars, liquor stores, and restaurants putting the community in danger need to be held accountable, and dram shop can see this happens while also giving folks an opportunity to get the help they deserve. It remains to be seen if investigators are looking into those possibilities here.
