In the state of Texas, the driver of a commercial vehicle is subject to a stricter DWI (driving while intoxicated) standard than a driver of a non-commercial vehicle. A trucker driver with blood alcohol content (BAC) over .04 is legally a drunk driver. (Non-professional drivers face a limit of .08).

The government has sent a strong message to truck drivers that DWI, or driving under the influence (DWI), is not to be tolerated on Texas roads, or other highways in the nation.

Negligence and drunk truck driver accidents

The truck driver negligence at the root of a drunk driving accident is as clear as the reading on the breathalyzer. However, the negligent behavior may go beyond the driver. Commercial trucking liability on the part of the trucking company extends to supervision and assessment of the drivers. We typically investigate every angle to be sure that all parties who contributed to the drunk truck driver accident are held accountable.
