Reports from the Texas Department of Transportation show that there were 16,163 automobile collisions reported involving drivers under the influence of alcohol and 2829 accidents involving drivers under the influence of drugs. Automobile collisions involving drunk drivers resulted in 904 fatailities and over 4030 serious injuries in 2008.
Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases the actual damages and injuries that a victim of a drunk driver sustains is compounded by the fact that the irresponsibility and negligence of a person who drives while intoxicated tends to extend to other areas of that individual's life.
