What if tests show that the driver who caused my injuries had consumed alcohol, but just under the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08?
While the legal limit makes an immediate difference in DWI cases, it is not required to demonstrate that a driver was negligent in a Texas drunk driving case. In most instances, if a person drives a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and then causes an accident, he or she is considered negligent simply for having driven while under the influence. Whether or not the person was “legally drunk”, he or she will be held responsible for injuries caused when they drove after consuming alcohol.
