More People Are Killed by a Drunk Driver in Dallas Than Any Other City



It has long been known that Texas has a much higher than average DUI accident rate than most states. Now, a new study has shown that our fair city of Dallas has the dubious honor of having the highest rates of DUI-related deaths in the nation. No other city sees more deaths caused by drunk drivers than Dallas.

Why So Many Drunk Driving Accidents Happen in Dallas

Researchers have pinpointed the primary causes of higher than normal mortality rates due to drunk driving. They list these factors as:

  • Access to alcohol
  • Enforcement of DUI laws
  • Deterrence measures
  • Severity of punishments for being caught driving under the influence

Understanding how and why drunk driving accident rates are so high in Dallas can help safety advocates better tailor anti-drunk driving campaigns. Perhaps if we all work together to fight the terrible impact that drunk driving accidents have on Dallas and all of Texas, our city can lower its rate of deadly accidents caused by intoxicated drivers.

The staff and attorneys at the Dallas car accident law firm of Guajardo & Marks have seen the terrible impact that drunk driving accidents have on the families of the victims. Please, make the right choice and choose a sober driver.
