While it’s risky for anyone to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, it is even more so for a commercial truck driver who is operating an 80,000-pound vehicle. When these large trucks collide with passenger vehicles, it is most often the occupants of the smaller vehicles who suffer the most devastating injuries. Although alcohol is a factor in many DUI accidents, one analysis of accident data by the FMCSA found that nearly half of truck drivers involved in collisions were taking either an over-the-counter or prescription medication. DUI crashes are entirely irresponsible and entirely preventable, and the attorneys at Kiley Law Group are aggressive in their pursuit of compensation for DUI accident victims.
