If you or a loved one has been injured in a drunk driving trucking accident, contact Russo Law Firm for help today. Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of accidents in the United States. Injuries caused by drunk drivers are devastating and can often be deadly. Drunk driving in a car is dangerous enough, but when a drunk driver is behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler or a semi-truck, injuries are catastrophic.
The disparity in size and weight between a passenger vehicle and a truck means that any accident between them is already likely to be severe. A semi-truck usually weighs about 80,000 lbs compared to a car that usually weighs 4,000 lbs. In the event of an accident where a truck hits a car, the car’s passengers are at a high risk for serious, even deadly injuries. Drunk driving inhibits a driver’s ability to drive safely and responsibly, especially while driving a truck that makes it more difficult to see other drivers.
Truck drivers have a responsibility to keep the vulnerable people they share the road with safe. When they fail in this duty, you can legally hold them accountable for their reckless actions. If a drunk truck driver caused you or a loved one serious injuries, you can pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover financial compensation to pay for all your medical expenses and other bills, and Russo Law Firm can help. To learn more about how our Tucson drunk driving truck accident attorneys can help you seek justice at this difficult time, contact us today at (520) 529-1515.
Truck accidents are unique because multiple parties might be liable for your injuries. In a drunk driving accident, the driver themselves will likely be partially responsible for your injuries. Additionally, if their employer did not screen their drivers adequately or if they allowed the driver to drive in an inebriated state, they may also be held accountable.

Generally, truck drivers are driving for commercial purposes and are employed by companies. They are required to have a Commercial Driver’s License. Drivers in Arizona cannot drive if they have a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or above. But, the restrictions are even more stringent for commercial drivers. They cannot drive with a blood alcohol content level of .04% or above because of the horrible accidents that impaired truck driving can cause. Drunk driving causes many impairments that can lead to accidents including:
Because of the effects of alcohol on one’s ability to drive, it is unacceptable for a truck driver to be under the influence. Regardless of what caused the trucking accident you were injured in, if the truck driver was drunk, you could be entitled to compensation to help pay for medical bills and any other expenses you have incurred due to the accident.
