E FOR LESS STERS (AND HOW TO BEAT THEM)
From big plays to unforgettable commercials and festive parties, Super Bowl Sunday is a time to gather, cheer, and indulge. But while the game may be full of surprises, some risks (like drunk drivers) are all too predictable. If you or someone you love finds themselves injured during game day festivities, knowing your options can make all the difference. WHO’S IN THE DRUNK DRIVING DANGER ZONE? We all know the drill: don’t drink and drive . Yet Super Bowl Sunday sees a massive increase in accidents caused by impaired drivers. If you’re planning to celebrate, be smart. Line up a ride home in advance — whether it’s a designated driver, a rideshare app like Uber or Lyft, or a taxi service. What most people don’t realize is that liability for a drunk driving accident doesn’t stop with the driver. Under Texas Dram Shop Laws , businesses that overserve alcohol to someone clearly intoxicated can also be held accountable for any harm caused. WHO ELSE COULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE? While the drunk driver is the obvious party at fault, there are other players on the field who could bear some responsibility: GAME DAY DANGERS Who’s Liable When a Drunk Driver Causes an Accident?
offer too soon can leave you with unresolved injuries and no way to recover additional compensation.
KEY STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR CLAIM 1. Never Accept a Settlement Too Quickly: Insurance companies want you to settle before fully assessing your damages, such as ongoing treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Always consult with a skilled attorney before accepting any offer. 2. Avoid Saying Anything That Could Hurt Your Case: Be careful about phrases like “I’m sorry” or “I didn’t see the other driver.” Even casual comments can be used to shift liability onto you. 3. Don’t Minimize Your Injuries: Never downplay your injuries when speaking to an adjuster. The reality is that some injuries take days or weeks to manifest fully, and minimizing them now can cost you later. WHY YOU NEED A LAWYER ON YOUR SIDE Insurance companies are skilled at reducing payouts, and going it alone can leave you vulnerable. A personal injury lawyer can help you assess the full value of your claim, ensure you receive proper medical care, and advocate for your best interests every step of the way. If you’ve been injured in an accident, don’t let the insurance company take advantage of you. You deserve fair compensation for your losses, and our legal team can help make that happen. Don’t settle for less — protect yourself and ensure you get the justice you deserve.

• Bars and restaurants: If they overserve someone who later causes an accident, they can be held liable. • Employers: If the driver was on the job or in a company vehicle, their employer may share the blame. • Vehicle owners: Allowing an intoxicated driver to use your car? That’s a legal risk. • Parents/guardians: When minors are involved, guardians may also be held responsible for allowing access to alcohol. LET US HELP YOU WIN OFF THE FIELD.
