Drowsy Driving

Driving while drowsy or fatigued is a leading cause of serious and fatal accidents. A tired driver may fall asleep at the wheel, drift out of lane, or fail to react in time. Commercial truck drivers, shift workers, and people who have been on the road for hours are often involved. When an accident is caused by a drowsy driver, that driver—and in some cases their employer—may be liable for your injuries. Evidence can include the driver’s hours, logbooks, and the circumstances of the crash.

Injuries from drowsy-driving accidents are often severe because the driver may not brake or steer before impact. Victims may suffer head trauma, spinal injury, broken bones, and more. Proving that the driver was fatigued and that fatigue caused the crash can be challenging but is often supported by records and expert analysis. These cases can take time to develop.

Pre-settlement funding helps you cover expenses while your attorney builds your case. You repay only from your settlement or verdict. That way you can pay bills and avoid settling for less than full value because of financial pressure.
