When Truckers Abuse Alcohol and Drugs
Trucking companies are required by law to employ a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drug and alcohol abuse. All too often, however, they turn a blind eye when truck drivers abuse substances such as alcohol, drugs and over-the-counter stimulants.
We conduct thorough investigations of all truck accident cases to search for evidence of substance abuse and other federal trucking regulations. Our attorneys work proactively to:
- Obtain police reports, including field sobriety test results, breath and blood test results
- Gather crash site evidence, including drug paraphernalia, empty pill bottles and alcohol containers
The trucking company and its insurance provider will do everything they can to limit their liability. Our attorneys know how to find the facts to strengthen our clients' cases and help them pursue full and fair compensation for the losses they have suffered.
