Commentary on Diego Espinoza, Anthony Boaten Accident in Dallas

Investigators said the crossover driver in this accident had consumed alcohol that night. I can't speak to the truth of that one way or the other, but if evidence confirms their suspicion then there may be more the the investigation than people realize.

Texas dram shop law says that a licensed alcohol provider (bar, club, restaurant, store, etc) that sells or serves drinks to an obviously intoxicated customer may be liable for injuries that customer causes--even to himself--while excessively impaired. In other words, if a bar could tell the crossover driver was drunk but kept serving him until he stumbled out near closing time then it may have a legal obligation to help him and the other crash victim recover from their injuries.

Having said that, alcohol's just a suspicion in the Harry Hines crash. Police would still have to prove it was a factor, and even then that wouldn't necessarily mean a bar broke the law. Learning whether a bar should be held accountable for its part in the wreck usually takes investigation above and beyond what law enforcement will invest, so it's important that victims find helpful allies to make sure that business stops its reckless behavior.
