To imagine an out-of-control big rig on the roadway whose driver is operating this large vehicle under the influence of drugs is frightening. But even more frightening to me, is the fact that this has become a very real and prevalent problem on our highways. As we’ve can clearly see from this report, the negligent actions on the part of such truck drivers threatens our safety as motorists on California State roads.
Please remember that if you have been injured by an impaired driver, you have legal rights. If you have lost a loved one in a truck accident as a result of a driver who was operating under the influence of drugs, you can file a wrongful death claim against the trucking firm, seeking compensation for medical/funeral expenses, loss of earnings and other related damages.
