Yes, you can.
The frightening reality is that drowsy driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving. And, similar to drunk driving, it’s also preventable.
There are a number of reasons why a trucker may have been driving without enough sleep, as we’ve seen. However, if a collision occurs due to an error on the tired trucker’s part, a lawsuit will most likely find him or her at fault.
If you’ve been injured in such a crash, it is highly recommended that you speak with a seasoned truck accident attorney. At The Smith Law Center, we’ve helped countless families come to terms with the types of catastrophic injuries that result from such accidents.
The main issue behind crashes from truck driver fatigue is negligence. If the crash could have been prevented and you were injured, the negligent person may be held liable. Your attorney will seek to obtain rightful compensation for your family if the trucker’s negligence is established.
