DWI Accident Lawyer Serving Burnet County, Texas
Helping Victims of Drunk and Drugged Driving Accidents in Burnet, Marble Falls & Surrounding Areas
Drunk driving is one of the most reckless and dangerous acts a person can commit behind the wheel. Unfortunately, drivers under the influence continue to cause devastating crashes across Burnet County—leaving innocent people with life-changing injuries, lost loved ones, and mountains of medical bills.
If you or someone you love has been hit by a drunk driver, you deserve justice. At the Law Office of Carl Knickerbocker, we represent victims of DWI-related accidents throughout Burnet, Marble Falls, Bertram, and surrounding communities. We’re here to fight for your full financial recovery and to hold negligent drivers accountable.
Drunk Driving Accidents in Burnet County
Every year, crashes involving alcohol or drugs occur on local roads like:
Highway 29
US-281
FM 1431
Park Road 4
RM 2341 and rural farm-to-market roads
These areas, particularly at night or during holidays and weekends, are high-risk for impaired drivers. Whether it's a head-on collision on a rural highway or a T-bone crash at an intersection in town, DWI accidents are typically severe — and completely preventable.
Common Injuries Caused by Drunk Drivers
Because DWI accidents often involve speeding, swerving, or failure to brake, the resulting damage can be catastrophic. We frequently see victims with:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Broken bones and internal bleeding
Burns and disfigurement
Neck and back trauma (including herniated discs)
Wrongful death
Innocent people pay the price for another driver’s selfish choice. You shouldn’t be stuck with the bills — the at-fault party and their insurance company should be held financially responsible.
Your Rights After a DWI Accident
Under Texas law, if a drunk driver caused your injuries or the death of a loved one, you may be entitled to significant compensation. A successful injury claim may cover:
Emergency and hospital bills
Ongoing medical care and rehabilitation
Lost wages and future earnings
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Property damage
Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
We also represent surviving families in wrongful death claims, helping them recover damages for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and more.
Can You Sue a Drunk Driver in Texas?
Yes. Even if the at-fault driver is facing criminal DWI charges, you have the right to file a civil claim to seek financial compensation. These are two separate legal actions.
In a personal injury case, you don’t have to prove criminal guilt — you only need to prove that the other driver’s negligence caused your injuries. We’ll investigate the crash, collect the evidence, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
