West Palm Beach Drowsy Driving Accident Lawyer
Truck accident attorney David Glatthorn will fight for you
Truck drivers, especially long haul truckers driving cross country, are required by law to take mandatory breaks. These laws exist to make sure truck drivers get enough sleep. Unfortunately, not every truck driver follows these rules. And in certain cases, truck companies create unrealistic schedules or outright require truckers to work far beyond their maximum hours.
The result? Many truck drivers fall asleep at the wheel, causing serious truck accidents. When these accidents happen, the consequences can often be extremely serious. Since the truck driver was asleep and didn't attempt to slow down, many trucks crash going full speed into other vehicles. As a result, serious injuries and fatalities are common in drowsy driver truck accidents.
Those who survive may face surgery, hospitalization, therapy and medication. Treatment may last months or even years. The medical expenses can become overwhelming. And injuries may prevent victims from working, resulting in lost income. If they were a financial provider, this can affect the entire family.
