Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas
My husband and mother in law were killed in an automobile accident. They were hit head on by a driver under the influence of alcohol/drugs. The evidence that proved the driver was under the influence was thrown out saying the blood was not lableled correctly by hospital and/or law enforcement. This caused the suspect to get a lesser conviction and me dissatisfaction. Is there anything legally I can do to sue who is responsible for not doing what what should of been done?

First, let me begin by telling you how sorry I am to hear about your loss. To answer your question, yes, there is still something you can do. You can sue the driver in civil court. Your damages against him would be limited to monetary damages, but it will at least get you your day in court. Again, my condolences for your loss

You certainly have claim against the driver for his small insurance policy, probably should be paid by the insurance for your husband and mother..for underinsured coverage, perhaps have a claim against whoever gave/sold liquor to drunk driver, perhaps claim for auto design...so much that you need to see a competent personal injury lawyer...it costs nothing to visit and ask..
