When you’re the victim of a catastrophic wreck caused by a Texas drunk driver, obtaining adequate financial compensation for your injuries could present a problem. In many DWI accident cases, the Texas drunk driver that harmed you could be destitute and uninsured.
But that’s not always the case. Headlines have brought attention to the latest possibly DWI incident involving Alice Walton, an heiress to part of the Wal*Mart fortune. The 62-year-old daughter of Sam Walton got pulled over outside of Fort Worth, TX after her birthday celebration. Ms. Walton was stopped for driving over 70 mph in a 55 mph zone. She was on her way home to Milsap, TX when a Texas Highway Patrol officer spotted her speeding vehicle.
When the officer asked her to submit to a Breathalyzer test, Ms. Walton refused. According to reports, Alice Walton attempted a field sobriety test, but failed it.
News accounts detail two other DWI incidents relating to Alice Walton. A 1998 DWI accident in Arkansas in which Ms. Walton broke her own nose but injured no one else resulted in several charges, including DWI. But a 1989 Arkansas DWI accident that left one person dead resulted in no charges against Ms. Walton.
You should know that criminal charges (or the lack of them) in a DWI accident case do not prevent you from filing a valid civil claim against the Texas drunk driver that caused your DWI accident injuries. But even where your DWI defendant might have millions, or even billions, to their name, your case is not a slam-dunk.
The DWI defendant’s many assets do not guarantee that you will receive a just amount of compensation for your accident losses. Indeed, a well-heeled Texas drunk driver more than likely will have the very best defense attorneys that money can buy to defend them from your claim. These highly motivated defense attorneys would make it their mission to dissect your claim and its weaknesses until nothing was left of your case.
