Drivers who fall asleep often don’t slow down before crashing into another vehicle. That’s why they’re so serious, especially when it comes to speeding accidents and interstate accidents on I-4, I-75 or another major highway in Central Florida.
Knowing what to do after such a severe car accident in Florida can be overwhelming. Even knowing what your rights are and what you can be financially compensated for after your drowsy driving accident might not be clear.
That's why it's critical that you talk to a drowsy driving accident attorney as soon as possible to discuss the details of your case. We want to meet with you at the Law Offices of Brent C. Miller, P.A. in Central Florida. One of our experienced accident lawyers can answer your questions, free of charge, and explain all the options available to you.
Why drowsy driving accidents happen
Asleep at the wheel accidents and collisions involving fatigued driving happen for many different reasons. Some of the most common causes of fatigued or tired driving accidents include tired drivers:
- Veering into another lane without warning
- Crossing the center line, causing a head-on collision
- Crashing into a car in front without stopping, resulting in a rear-end accident.
Commercial drivers often fall asleep at the wheel. A truck driver who falls asleep at the wheel and crashes into a car often causes serious injuries. That's because many of them work long hours on the road and don't take breaks in an effort to make more money and maximize profits for corporations.
Whatever the cause of your crash, we want to help you hold the tired driver accountable for his or her actions. Drowsy driving can be as bad as driving drunk. And like drunk driving, drowsy drivers can choose to not drive if they’re tired. So if a driver fell asleep and crashed into your vehicle, they should be held responsible for your accident.
How we can help
You might think you don't need a lawyer if a tired driver crashed into your car. Since the other driver clearly broke the law and caused a serious accident, the police and insurance companies will take care of everything, right?
Don't be so sure. Often, drivers who cause asleep at the wheel accidents deny doing anything wrong. And even if they do admit wrongdoing, you'll likely face obstacles from the driver's insurance company. That's because they're focused on one thing - paying injury victims as little as possible.
That's not right. That's why we want to help you successfully resolve your case. As your attorney, we will aggressively investigate your accident. This often includes reviewing your accident report, consulting with experts and visiting the scene of your accident. And when it comes to dealing with insurance companies, they don't intimidate us. We know how to negotiate and we're prepared to take them to court if necessary. Contact us to learn more about how an experienced Florida drowsy driving lawyer at our law firm can help you.
