Commentary on Jose Alvarado Single-Vehicle Accident in San Antonio
It's obviously concerning when police believe alcohol is a factor in a crash. I wouldn't jump to conclusions without seeing clear evidence, but I discuss details like these because there could be important issues authorities are overlooking. Holding a drunk driver accountable is one thing, but getting the victims the help they need is another. That's why it's crucial they know about dram shop law.

Essentially, 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, restaurants, liquor stores--these businesses have rules to follow. If they break those rules and people get hurt, they need to be held accountable. Dram shop can do this while also giving victims some much needed help.
So while it's unclear what all happened here, folks should keep these possibilities in mind so they know the right people are looking into getting them the help they deserve.
