A drunk driver who causes a serious or fatal accident will typically face two separate types of court cases. First, they will face a criminal trial for either vehicular manslaughter or assault. The second type of case is a civil case for personal injury or wrongful death. Sometimes the driver is not the only one at fault, third-party liability occurs when businesses providing alcohol are negligent to its customers.
