Denison Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
Fighting for Texans Injured in Denison, Sherman & Grayson County
Texas ranks among the states with high rates of drunk driving incidents. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, alcohol-related crashes account for a significant proportion of traffic fatalities and injuries each year. In 2023, more than 1,000 people died in alcohol-related car crashes, over 25 percent of the total number of Texas traffic fatalities.
The risk of accidents increases exponentially when alcohol is involved. Its consumption diminishes reaction time, judgment, coordination, and concentration. Drunk drivers are also more likely to engage in reckless behaviors such as speeding, swerving, running red lights, and driving the wrong way. These behaviors drastically elevate the likelihood of causing severe or fatal accidents.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a drunk driving accident, I strongly urge you to seek legal representation. At Bradshaw Coones, PLLC, you can work directly with me to pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to in a personal injury claim.
With decades of experience, I can help you by thoroughly investigating the accident, gathering evidence, building your claim, negotiating with the at-fault party or their insurer, or taking your case to court. My priority is to help you secure full and fair damages for what you have suffered and lost.

Pursuing a Drunk Driving Claim in Denison, TX
When a drunk driving accident occurs, the at-fault driver may face criminal charges for driving under the influence (DUI). However, you can pursue a separate civil injury claim to seek compensation for your losses.
The criminal case focuses on punishing the offender and protecting the public, whereas your claim pursues compensation for the damages suffered. Regardless of the outcome of the criminal case, you can still file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court.
Don’t hesitate and make that important decision now. Contact me, a Sherman personal injury lawyer for a free consultation. Let me help you protect your rights and pursue the justice and compensation you deserve. Let’s take on this fight together, and I’ll stand by your side, and in your corner, every step of the way.
Drunk Driving Accidents in Denison, Sherman & Grayson County
Texas drunk driving accidents occur when the at-fault driver has a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher.
If you are injured in such an accident, it is essential to secure evidence such as:
- 911 calls or call logs
- In-vehicle video
- Officer lapel recordings
- Drunk tank videos
- Witness statements
- Blood alcohol content analysis of the driver from the state
- Photographs of the accident scene
Texas juries dislike drunk drivers. Insurance adjusters know this, so gathering this evidence immediately will add significant value to your claim when presented to the bodily injury claims adjuster.
