Sleepy driving may not be as common or destructive as drunk driving, but drowsiness on America’s highways is nevertheless a meaningful contributing factor in determining the number of fatalities that occur ever year. For instance, every year 30,000 Americans are injured in an automobile accident as a result of drowsy driving.
Drowsy driving is a common problem. In fact, one estimate found that a majority of Americans, 62 percent, admitted to driving while sleepy. More than one-in-ten stated that their sleepiness impacted their driving ability.
Most drivers realize that driving while sleepy is dangerous and that it causes thousands of injuries and hundreds of deaths annually. They know they shouldn’t do it. And yet, hundreds of thousands of Americans dismiss caution and put their lives – and the lives of many others – at risk. It’s not right; and it’s not fair that these drivers walk away from the damage they cause without being forced to pay the consequences.
Fortunately for victims of drowsy drivers and their families, Texas tort law empowers them to fight back. Thanks to basic concepts of negligence and comparative fault, drivers who suffer personal injury or property damage at the hands of a drowsy driver can secure justice for themselves and their families. Moreover, by punishing careless drivers, litigants standing up for victims’ rights make other sleepy drivers think twice before they get behind the wheel of a car.
