In Texas roads, there are numerous
accidents that occur every day. Some accidents are more dramatic than others, and some injuries are more serious than others. The problem arises when a drunk driver is behind the wheel of a vehicle. These drivers place their lives at risk and also the community at large. But many times these individuals go unpunished.
Recently, insurance companies, as a result of legislature changes, were required to increase their coverage for financial responsibility from $40,000 per occurrence to $50,000. But, when a life has been lost, that is not an amount to compensate any one, including the victim's family. Many times, other
injuries or
conditions may exist that would allow greater compensation for the families.

civil or monetary.
