About Drunk Driving Accidents
In the United States, fatal drunk driving accidents have declined overall, but they still happen at alarming rates. According to the NHTSA, one person dies every 52 minutes from drunk-driving crashes, and 10,142 people died from drunk driving accidents in 2019, and over 1,000 died in Texas alone. The cost of drunk driving accidents is more than just economic. Lost lives, permanent injuries, and long-term emotional trauma are all realistic consequences from a drunk driving accident.
Katy Drunk Driving Legal Procedures
Law enforcement receives training to recognize and mediate situations with drunk drivers. Victims who can recall the details of the accident will help build a solid case against the drunk driver in both criminal and civil court. A thorough police report that supports the victim’s recollection of the accident will go a long way toward holding negligent drunk drivers accountable for their actions.
A blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent or more is a definitive standard for legal intoxication and the criminal charges that come with it.

Hea Lea2024-01-27Attorney Michael West is outstanding. He fights hard for his clients and he gets the job done. If you have a personal injury claim you can count on him to get you the money you deserve.
Laura A2024-01-19I used West & West for my personal injury claim - a slip and fall that involved a trip to the emergency room. Michael West was able to successfully get my medical bills paid and I walked away with money in my pocket. Both Michael and his paralegal were very helpful throughout the whole process.
Teresa Dupuis2024-01-11West and West did an excellent job representing our family's estate settlement during the probate process. They are skilled, up to date, and were patient with us and the beneficiaries and helped us keep everything on track during our extended process. Laura and the others were always amazing with us too.

They treated me like family and not just another case in the books. Michael West is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who has been in a car accident, or anyone seeking legal help. Amazing law firm and staff!!!
Sonia Emmons2023-08-12I enjoyed dealing with a local law firm with strong roots in the community. Probating my Uncle's Will was emotional and personal, but the staff made the process easier than I ever imagined. The process was smooth and easy. The care shown by the staff is knowledgeable and caring.
