Falling asleep at the wheel is the cause of hundreds of deadly crashes each year. It is a common occurrence and many people do it, even just briefly. However, an accident can occur within a split second.
Falling asleep at the wheel is a very preventable situation. Everyone has the choice to get behind the wheel or pull over to the side of the road when nodding off and driving. The lack of attention paid to the road when sleep deprived or drowsy is just as dangerous as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Though not intentionally malicious or pre-meditated, deciding to drive while tired is irresponsible and negligent. You have the right to be compensated for your injuries that are a result of an asleep at the wheel accident. The fatigued driver is ultimately responsible for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages that may have been a result of the accident.
