If you or a loved one were hit and injured by a drunk driver in Houston, you deserve answers, support, and compensation. At The Miller Law Firm, our Houston drunk driving accident lawyer works hard to hold drunk drivers responsible for the harm they cause. You didn’t choose to become a victim—but you can choose who protects your rights.
Why Choose a Houston Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer?
Drunk driving is a crime. However, for victims, criminal charges are just the beginning. You have the right to pursue civil compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
These are not just legal rights—they are lifelines for recovery. Our team at The Miller Law Firm is led by Adam Miller, who is known as “The Texas Bulldog.” We understand that drunk driving injury claims can be very complicated. That’s why we’ll fight to make sure you’re not left paying the price for someone else’s reckless choices.

What Counts as a Drunk Driving Accident?
In Texas, it is against the law to drive a car with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or more. Even so, lower levels can impair driving ability and result in dangerous behavior on the road.
Drunk driving accidents can include:
- Rear-end collisions caused by delayed reaction times
- Head-on crashes from wrong-way drivers
- T-bone accidents at intersections
- Pedestrian injuries due to impaired awareness
- High-speed crashes on Houston highways
Drunk drivers often leave devastation in their wake. Therefore, our job is to pursue justice for the victims they leave behind.
Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents
These crashes often involve high speeds or erratic behavior, leading to serious or even catastrophic injuries:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage or paralysis
- Broken bones and crush injuries
- Burns and disfigurement
- Internal bleeding
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
If you’re dealing with any of these issues, talk to a Houston drunk driving accident attorney today. They can help you understand your options for legal recovery.

Who Can Be Held Liable?
While the drunk driver is the most obvious party at fault, Texas dram shop laws may allow you to hold others responsible as well:
The Driver
Driving under the influence is a clear act of negligence under Texas law.
Bars, Restaurants, or Clubs
Establishments may be liable if they overserved a visibly intoxicated person who then caused a crash.
Employers
If the drunk driver was working at the time, their employer could also bear legal responsibility.
As your legal team, we will explore every angle. In doing so, our goal is to find all responsible parties and build the best case possible.

How Much Is Your Case Worth?
The value of your drunk driving injury claim depends on several factors:
- The severity of your injuries
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Future medical treatment or disability
- Emotional and psychological suffering
- Whether punitive damages are appropriate
Our team works with doctors, economists, and accident experts. Because of this, we aim to help you get a better settlement or verdict. Of course, every case is different.
