A fatigued driver can cause a serious accident that leaves you with catastrophic damages and injuries. We can help you recover your costs and losses.
To seek a personal injury settlement after a fatigued driver makes an error and hits you, an Irving driving fatigue accident lawyer from Loncar Lyon Jenkins will work to prove that the other driver behaved recklessly. If police rule out drunk driving as a cause, you and your attorney can investigate the other driver’s fatigue level to show that negligence occurred.
The Impact of Fatigued Drivers on the Roads
Fatigued people are weary and unable to function as well as they usually would.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) notes that driver fatigue happens when drivers do not get enough sleep or when the quality of their sleep is poor. Driver fatigue can lead to unsafe driving and impaired judgment.
It can be similar to what happens when drivers are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Driver fatigue not only puts the driver at risk for accidents, but it also puts all the people around them at risk: pedestrians, passengers, and other drivers. So when drivers are fatigued, it can increase their risk of getting into accidents and hurting themselves and the people around them.
The Responsibility of Drivers
Every driver should be focused on the road and be aware of their surroundings. Each driver has a responsibility to drive safely. Drivers can help reduce accidents caused by fatigue by getting enough sleep and not driving when they are tired.
After experiencing an accident caused by a fatigued driver, you might be able to recover compensation from the driver that was responsible. A driving fatigue accident attorney from our firm can go over the case with you to help you explore your legal options.

We Will Work With You to Seek the Largest Possible Award for You
We have seen how injuries in crashes with fatigued drivers can negatively affect the lives of victims. In addition, we understand that your injuries may require many future health expenses on your path to maximum recovery.
We will work hard to help you seek awards for many different items, including the following:
Medical Costs
Should you need emergency care after your accident, you can face almost overwhelming medical costs building up within a short amount of time. You should not have to pay these bills yourself when you did not do anything wrong.
Our legal team will fight for you to receive awards for your emergency medical bills and for any medical costs you will incur in the future for ongoing treatment of your injuries.
Lost Wages
Should you be unable to work as you recover from your injuries, you deserve to seek compensation for your lost wages.
If your injuries are serious enough, you may never be able to work again. Insurance companies could fight hard to try to avoid paying settlements to victims who may lose the ability to earn a living, as these settlements can be much higher.
We can use the facts in your case to show why you deserve compensation for your inability to work. You do not deserve an uncertain financial future because of someone else’s negligence.
Reduction in Quality of Life
Negotiating an award for your reduced quality of life allows us to show how the accident has changed less tangible aspects of your life—both in the past and future.
Some of the items that may fit under this type of award include:
- Ongoing pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Nightmares about the accident
- Depression
- An inability to enjoy the same activities that you did before the accident
- Disfigurement or disability
- Loss of one of your senses
We represent victims of car accidents and the loved ones of accident victims who did not survive their injuries. We can help you seek compensation for a loved one’s burial expenses, medical costs, and other losses.
Our goal is to get you the compensation that you deserve.
We Will Handle the Negotiations Process for You
After an accident where another driver hits you because he or she was driving while fatigued, you may hear from the driver’s insurer. They may try to quickly offer you a settlement.
We understand the temptation to try to settle the case quickly. However, this is not always the best result. Once you agree to a settlement, you cannot attempt to seek more money later, should you discover additional injuries down the road.
We Know How to Fight Back Against the Insurer’s Techniques
Instead of agreeing to a quick settlement, hire us and let us negotiate with the insurance company for you. We know how insurers treat victims of car accidents, trying to convince them to accept a smaller settlement than they deserve. We will work against these techniques, ensuring you receive the fairest possible treatment.
