Commentary:
Many people are completely unaware of Texas’ unique liquor liability laws, and how they may relate to an accident like this one. Texas has a unique set of regulations that allow for 1st party claims against bars. What does this mean? It means that if a person is over-served alcohol at a bar before leaving the bar and hurting themselves in an accident, the bar can be held liable if they failed to serve alcohol responsibly. What does it mean when a bar over serves? Well bars are forbidden from both selling alcohol to an intoxicated person, or allowing somebody to become obviously intoxicated under their service. As you can imagine these regulations are violated quite often, and may warrant a second look at an accident that involves alcohol.
