Saturday morning just before 4 a.m. at Antoine and Highway 249 in northwest Harris County, a Cadillac suddenly turned in front of a motorcycle on Highway 249. The motorcycle was unable to avoid a collision and crashed into the Cadillac. Our Harris County wrongful death lawyers note that the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet at the time of the deadly motorcycle collsion, but died on impact with the larger, heavier vehicle.
The female driver of the Cadillac has been charged with intoxication manslaughter after thedeadly motorcycle collision. She and her female passenger remained uninjured by the deadly crash. According to news reports of the incident, the driver of the Cadillac made a phone call just after the crash and a man came to the accident site and tried to leave the scene, possibly with the occupants of the Cadillac. But reportedly a sensible wrecker truck driver blocked them off and prevented them from fleeing the site of the deadly motorcycle collision at Antoine and Highway.
Authorities say that the female driver of the Cadillac admitted that she had been at a bar. And the man who came to the crash site to attempt to extract the occupants of the Cadillac from the scene could face charges of tampering with evidence.

Victims Harmed by DWI Accidents might have Legal Recourse against the Bar that served the DWI Driver
Our Harris County wrongful death lawyers point out that Texas “dram shop” laws exist to help you pursue fair financial compensation against those who negligently serve patrons too much alcohol. When alcohol-serving establishments over-serve a patron and that person causes a deadly crash, you have the right to pursue full financial compensation for your losses from the establishment. Your losses might include not just the devastating funeral expenses, but loss of consortium, and the loss of the income stream that your family member had provided.
But pursuing compensation against a bar that over-served a deadly DWI driver is not easy. These establishments often have training procedures and policies in place designed to circumvent the rules. And “regulars” at the bar might offer to serve as witnesses to protect their regular drinking hole.
