Drugs and Alcohol Abuse
When the driver of an 18-wheeler abuses drugs or alcohol while on the road, the results can be tragic. If you or a loved one has been injured by a truck driver who was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the attorneys at Jacobs & Jacobs are here to stand up for your rights.

Overworked truck drivers may resort to abusing prescription or over-the-counter stimulants to work longer hours. Some truck drivers abuse alcohol or marijuana and other illegal drugs. In any case, this type of negligence can result in serious injuries and wrongful death to other people on the road.

If you were injured in a truck accident caused by drug or alcohol abuse, our attorneys can thoroughly review all of the circumstances surrounding your case to determine how the accident was caused and if drug or alcohol abuse played a role. We will look into police reports, field sobriety tests, blood alcohol tests, and other sources to identify evidence that is critical to your case.

Our attorneys are skilled courtroom advocates who know how to present compelling cases for our clients. We have the skill and experience to counter defense strategies the other side will likely use to deny or limit your claim. Helping you obtain financial relief for your damages is our highest priority.

If you or someone close to you has been injured by a truck driver who was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, we are here to help. Please contact us online or by telephone at 866-668-7179 to speak with an experienced lawyer.
