Baltimore Drunk Driving Truck Accident Attorneys

Truck drivers are trusted with large, powerful vehicles and heavy cargo loads that take skill and experience to drive and control. Both 18-wheelers and semi trucks are a hugely important part of trade and commerce. However, that means that we must put our faith in truck drivers to conduct their vehicles as safely as possible.

Sadly, truck drivers are subject to the same errors as regular drivers, despite the size of their loads. Thus, if a truck driver chooses to drink and drive, it can lead to a potentially devastating situation. If you have been the victim of an impaired truck driver, you should not let this terrible recklessness go unpunished. To fight back, contact a Baltimore DWI truck accident attorney from Belsky, Weinberg & Horowitz, LLC today at 410-234-0100.

Alcohol and Driving Abilities

There is no question that alcohol severely impairs a person’s driving abilities. Alcohol enhances the effects of the inhibitory signaling in the brain, which is why your body seems to slow down after drinking. This can result in the following driving difficulties:

Decreased coordination
Delayed reaction speed
Problems with visually tracking objects
Inability to make rational decisions

There is no way to drive safely while experiencing impairments like these. Truck drivers who operate their vehicles under the influence of alcohol or other drugs should face consequences for their reckless decisions.

Injuries from Truck Accidents

Sadly, due to the size and power of semi trucks and 18-wheelers, accidents with these vehicles typically result in tragic injuries. Some injuries from truck accidents include:

Spinal cord damage
Broken bones
Lacerations and gashes
Head trauma

These injuries can be both physically and financial costly. If you have been hurt by a drunk truck driver you should talk to a Baltimore drunk truck driving accident lawyer today about the financial compensation that you deserve.
