Katy TX Car Accident Attorneys On Houston Area Fatal Drunk Driving Crashes

A tragic, recent wreck caused here in our local area by a drunken driver amply illustrates the dangers of drinking and driving in Texas. Just before 2:00 a.m. on August 2, 2011, Jose Campuzano crashed into another vehicle. It seems that he was driving down the wrong side of the road at the time of the car accident. Police charged him with intoxication manslaughter. Reports say that a blood sample extracted from Mr. Campuzano showed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.285, more than three times the legal limit in Texas.

Mr. Daniel Padilla, who was in the car that Mr. Campuzano hit, was the unfortunate victim of Mr. Campuzano's dangerous driving. He died at the accident scene. Mr. Campuzano and his passenger were taken to the hospital with their own severe injuries.

Mr. Padilla's family has our deepest sympathies. Drunken driving claims far too many innocent lives in Texas. Drunken drivers in our state kill hard working men and women and helpless children almost every day. In fact, we lead the United States in the number of accidents attributed to drunken driving. And Harris County leads Texas in drunken driving.

Texas is a big state. We require our cars to drive from place to place. But it's time we find a way to enjoy our leisure time without taking to the roads in a drunken state. Mr. Padilla lost his life well before his time because Mr. Campuzano decided to take to the roads with an enormous blood alcohol concentration. His evening partying led to the Padilla family's life-changing tragedy. In addition, the passenger who was in the car with him suffers in the hospital with critical injuries.

As Katy, TX car accident attorneys, we might be able to help the Padilla family obtain financial compensation for their losses caused by Mr. Campuzano. But in reality, nothing he would ever give them could possibly compensate for what he has taken away. We understand the Padilla family's grievous loss. We've aided many families facing similar situations as they took their quest for justice to the courts. Justice is blind. And in cases like this one, she is also bereft. Because any financial compensation that she can give to the victims can never make up for their actual losses.
