In today’s world, drinking alcohol—especially to the point of intoxication—has become far too normalized, particularly among young adults. Unfortunately, what often starts as a night of fun can turn into a life-altering tragedy when someone chooses to get behind the wheel while impaired.
Drunk driving isn’t just reckless—it’s dangerous and illegal. Every year, thousands of innocent people suffer severe injuries, property damage, or worse, all because someone made the selfish decision to drive under the influence. At Herrman and Herrman, we’ve seen firsthand how devastating these crashes can be for victims and their families.
When Drunk Driving Destroys More Than Just a Night Out
The consequences of drinking and driving reach far beyond the person who chose to get behind the wheel. Victims are left with wrecked vehicles, totaled homes or fences, expensive medical bills, and long-term trauma. These aren’t just accidents—they’re preventable acts of negligence.
Whether it’s a smashed fence, a totaled parked car, or a life-threatening injury, the law is on your side if you’re a victim. But don’t expect justice to be handed to you easily—insurance companies and drunk drivers often fight hard to avoid responsibility. That’s where we come in.
You Deserve More Than Apologies—You Deserve Compensation
Drunk drivers face serious consequences: criminal charges, jail time, license suspension, and financial penalties. But for victims, the road to recovery often depends on whether they can secure fair compensation. Unfortunately, that’s not always easy.
Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim. The drunk driver may be uninsured. Evidence may need to be gathered quickly to prove intoxication or recklessness. In short, you need an advocate—an experienced legal team who won’t back down.
At Herrman and Herrman, we fight for the rights of victims affected by drunk driving. Our personal injury lawyers understand Texas DUI laws inside and out. We work swiftly to:
-
Gather critical evidence (including video, witness statements, and crash site documentation)
-
Prove intoxication and negligence
-
Hold the drunk driver accountable
-
Negotiate aggressively with insurance companies
-
Pursue maximum compensation for your property damage, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering
Why Legal Help Makes All the Difference
Even if the drunk driver is clearly at fault, that doesn’t guarantee you’ll be compensated fairly—or at all. If they lack proper insurance, or their insurer tries to deny your claim, you could be left paying out-of-pocket for someone else’s mistake. That’s why having Herrman and Herrman by your side is crucial.
We don’t just handle cases—we handle everything so you can focus on healing. From filing property damage claims to navigating court proceedings, our attorneys go above and beyond to ensure victims of DUI crashes are not left behind.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
