Driving Under the Influence
Trucks are the cause of thousands of fatal car accidents on United States highways each year. In addition to the innate things that make trucks dangerous such as great weight, constant wear and tear, and size, the behavior of many truck drivers makes driving on the same road as these vehicles a very real threat to other motorists. Many truck drivers even choose to operate these massive vehicles while under the influence of alcohol and other drugs.
There are a number of reasons that truck drivers choose to drive while under the influence of mind altering substances, ranging from the need to stay awake for many hours to sheer boredom. Whatever the reason may be, the Iowa driving under the influence lawyers of LaMarca & Landry, P.C. believe that these selfish individuals should be held accountable when their negligent actions result in harm to innocent motorists.
