Personal Injury Lawyer Representing Accident Victims in Pasadena
Pasadena is located in the Houston metropolitan area, and is the 17th most populous city in Texas with 149,043 residents. Interestingly, the city’s founder, John H. Burnett, named it after Pasadena, California, in 1893.
Pasadena has a volunteer fire department which is the largest all-volunteer municipal fire department in the country. This may be because the city has key economic areas where fire-training is important such as petroleum and gas exploration, refining, and processing, as well as maritime shipping and aerospace.
With such a large hard-working and mobile population, Pasadena also contributes significantly to the state’s motor vehicle accident statistics, many of which are the result of drunk driving.
Defending Pasadena Drunk Driving Accident Victims
Unfortunately, in 2012, Texas led the nation in drunk driving deaths with 1,296 fatalities. There were 25,671 alcohol-related crashes and 16,882 alcohol-related crash injuries.
If you have been injured or had a loved one killed in a drunk driving related accident, consulting with an attorney who is experienced in handling drunk driving accident claims is imperative.
Drunk Driving Crashes
Texas authorities will use a person’s blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, to determine whether he or she was too intoxicated to operate a motor vehicle. They can be charged with driving while intoxicated or DWI. The BAC limits in Texas are as follows:
- 21 years and older cannot have a BAC of more than .08%
- Commercial drivers cannot have a BAC of over .04%
- Drivers younger than 21 cannot have any detectable amount of alcohol in their system
If you have been involved in a drunk driving accident, there are penalties for the intoxicated vehicle operator. These penalties include:
- Fines
- License suspension or revocation
- Imprisonment
- DWI education and intervention programs
- Community service
