New York City Drunk Driving Lawyers
In the commercial trucking industry, truckers often drive thousands of miles to transport goods from one state to another. As such, it is crucial that they remain alert and fully aware of their surroundings at all times. Unfortunately, some truckers make the reckless decision to drive drunk, which puts innocent drivers at risk of serious injury or death.
Drunk driving is a serious problem, no matter what type of vehicle a person drives. If you or someone you love suffered an injury after an intoxicated truck driver collided with your vehicle, contact the New York City drunk driving lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273 for a free initial consultation with an experienced legal professional.
Dangers of Driving While Drunk
When a person consumes alcohol, he or she may quickly become impaired. This impairment makes it difficult to operate an automobile and virtually impossible to do so safely.
Since commercial trucks are much larger and heavier than passenger automobiles, the dangers associated with driving a truck while drunk may be even greater than the dangers of driving a passenger automobile drunk.
The potential impairments an individual may experience when intoxicated include:
- Blurred vision
- Delayed reaction times
- Behavioral changes
- Physical impairments
Truck drivers who drive while drunk may be liable for the injuries and deaths they cause in an accident. Victims of intoxicated truck drivers should contact an experienced truck accident attorney to learn more about their legal rights and options.
