Houston DUI Accident Victim Lawyer

Injured by a Drunk Driver in Houston? We Fight for Justice.

Every year, Texans are seriously injured or killed because someone chose to drink and drive. If you were hit by a drunk driver in Houston or anywhere in Texas, you deserve more than an apology or a criminal charge against the offender. At Granados & Associates, PLLC, we focus on protecting victims—pursuing civil claims that recover real compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term harm.

A DUI Charge Is Not the Same as Your Civil Claim

When a driver is arrested for DWI or DUI, the state handles the criminal case. That case may lead to fines or jail time—but it does not pay your medical bills.



A civil injury claim is separate. It allows you to seek financial recovery for:


  • Medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Long-term or catastrophic injuries
  • Possible punitive damages in extreme cases

We coordinate with the criminal process while aggressively building your civil case.

When Drunk Driving Causes Life-Changing Harm

Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage

Severe internal injuries and broken bones

Permanent disability requiring long-term care

Claims involving Catastrophic Injuries and lifelong medical needs

Fatal crashes that may give rise to a Wrongful Death action

Can a Bar or Restaurant Be Held Responsible?

Texas law may allow victims to pursue a dram shop claim if a bar or restaurant overserved an obviously intoxicated person who then caused a crash. These cases require careful investigation—gathering receipts, witness statements, and surveillance evidence.



Granados & Associates investigates every possible source of compensation so no responsible party escapes accountability.

Your Pain Deserves Accountability

Drunk driving crashes aren’t accidents—they’re preventable tragedies. We channel your anger and frustration into action, building a case that demands full accountability from every responsible party.

Common Questions After a Drunk Driving Crash

  • Can I sue a drunk driver for my injuries in Texas?

    Yes. You can file a civil claim for damages separate from the criminal DUI case.

  • Do I get more compensation if the driver was drunk?

    Drunk driving may strengthen your case and could support claims for punitive damages, depending on the facts.

  • How does a civil case work if there’s also a DUI charge?

    The criminal case is handled by prosecutors. Your civil claim is handled independently to secure financial recovery for you.

  • What if the drunk driver has little or no insurance?

    We explore all avenues, including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and potential dram shop claims.
