Driver Fatigue Accident Lawyer in Knoxville, TN
Drowsy driving is both dangerous and preventable. If a fatigued driver caused your injuries, you might be able to recover money. This compensation can pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
You can’t always expect the insurance company to look after your best interests. They may come off as friendly and helpful in the hopes that you’ll accept their payout. The fact is, the law likely entitles you to more than their initial offer. You need a compassionate Knoxville driver fatigue attorney on your side.
The Myers Law Firm represents clients throughout Knox County. Call today at 865-247-8255.
3 Possible Signs That a Fatigued Driver Caused Your Accident
Driver fatigue accidents can happen anywhere at any time. However, certain factors increase the odds of this type of crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that many drowsy driver accidents have three main elements.
Time of Day
Driver fatigue accidents are more likely to happen between midnight and 6:00 a.m. Anyone on the road during these hours is fighting against their body’s natural inclination to sleep at night.
No Evidence of Braking
A “microsleep” is a period of sleep that lasts only seconds. During a microsleep episode, a driver is completely unaware of anything around them. These drivers may crash into another vehicle, guardrail, or another object without slowing down or braking.
Rural Roads
Compared to I-640, Knox County’s rural roads are poorly lit and less frequently traveled. This darkness and lack of road activity can add to a driver’s drowsiness.
Why You Need a Knoxville Driver Fatigue Attorney
Sleep deprivation is a problem throughout the country, and Tennessee is no exception. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately one-third of adults in the state get fewer than seven hours of sleep per night.
A driver fatigue crash happens in mere seconds. But the physical and emotional effects can last years or even a lifetime. Behind every accident-related medical bill is an injured victim: a parent who can’t play with their kids; a hard worker who can’t return to the job they love; a lifelong caregiver who now must rely on others for their basic needs.
