Kansas and Missouri Attorneys: Driver DUI and Drugs
Truck drivers are held to a higher standard than other drivers when behind the wheel. There are strict regulations governing alcohol consumption and drug abuse, and severe penalties are imposed on those who violate such laws. While it may be comforting to accident victims and their families to know that the careless truck driver was penalized for driving drunk or under the influence of drugs, it does little to help them confront the financial realities of a catastrophic injury or wrongful death of a family member.
We help clients recover the compensation they need and deserve by pursuing a personal injury or wrongful death claim against the truck driver, the commercial trucking company and any other responsible parties. In addition to thoroughly investigating the facts of the truck accident, our attorneys meticulously examine related issues such as:
- Does the trucker have prior DUI arrests against his personal driving record or commercial driver's license?
- Does the truck driver have a history of alcohol or drug abuse?
- Does the trucking company have a history of hiring drivers with prior DUIs or chemical abuse problems?
