Sleep deprivation can be extremely dangerous. If you get behind the wheel while sleep deprived, it can cause serious damage to not just yourself, but others on the road around you. If someone is sleep deprived, they can experience lack of focus and slower reaction time. They can even doze off if they are not doing something active to keep them alert.
Our client was the first victim in the path of destruction left behind by a sleep deprived truck driver. The truck driver barreled through six nearly stopped vehicles at full speed. The truck driver never applied his brakes before violently crashing into our client. We later discovered that the truck driver was driving on little to no sleep as a result of being verbally reprimanded previously for taking too long of a sleep break in the days leading up to the crash. On top of it all, the defendant driver was severely underinsured for the magnitude of destruction.
Our attorneys stepped up to help make sure that the lack of insurance by the defendant would not impact our client’s justice. Attorneys Jennifer Neal, Caleb Rackley, Cesar Perez, Chloe Shrode, and Illiana Parker, along with their team, did everything they could to hold the defendant accountable. After a hard-fought battle, they ensured our client received a settlement to help assist in their road to recovery.
The team was not afraid of a challenge and rose to the occasion in order to help someone in need. Great job everyone!
