against drunk driving and driving under the influence of
drugs or alcohol, but

drive causing many automobile collisions.
Under Texas law, a driver is considered
drunk or under the influence if they do not have the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of
alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the
body or if they have a blood alcohol concentration of over .08. And

feel free to contact
The Law
Offices of Jason S. Coomer for
additional information on automobile accidents, vehicle collisions, truck
accidents, car wrecks, and motorcycle crashes. Don't think that if you
have suffered serious injuries in an automobile accident
that the insurance industry will take care of you or
voluntarily pay you full compensation for all the medical bills, lost wages,
pain & suffering, impairment, disfigurement, and other
damages that you have suffered. They probably
won't. In fact, many insurance adjusters will offer
low settlement amounts hoping that you will sign away your
automobile accident claim prior to knowing the full extent of your damages.
There are also some insurance adjusters that will delay and
stall allowing
the statute of limitations to run relieving the insurance
company of any liability.
Truck Accidents
The trucking
industry is also have many drivers that are on drugs or
alcohol to help them spend hours and hours driving to meet
deadlines. From speed and other forms of uppers to
over the counter stimulants that keep the driver awake, the
combination of tried overworked drivers on drugs and driving
large commercial vehicles can cause devastating automobile
accidents. These truck collisions are too often caused
by several ton trucks attempting to travel to fast, getting
to close to passenger vehicles, or not slowing down for
weather. When traveling on highways it is important to
give these big vehicles room and if one is driving
recklessly or speeding, to give that truck driver some room.
Drugged, untrained, overworked, or
inexperienced drivers all too often lose control of their
large several ton commercial
vehicles causing them to jackknife, overturn, or collide
with passenger vehicles. When this happens it is typically the
passengers of the smaller vehicle that suffer. If this has
happened to you or someone you love it is a good
idea
to obtain excellent legal representation to protect your or
your loved one's rights and to make sure that an
investigation as to the cause of the collision in done
correctly.
If you have been seriously injured by
in a car crash, motorcycle accident, or other automobile
collision, it is important to seek medical help to determine
how to treat the head trauma,
herniated discs & back injuries, broken
bones, or injuries you have suffered. It is then a good idea to
contact the authorities and/or explore a possible law suit
to make sure that the wrongful act or hazardous conditions can be
remedied.
