Philadelphia Drowsy Driving Accident Attorneys
When motor vehicles are handled improperly, they become dangerous machines capable of inflicting serious damage and injury to anyone around them. There are a number of different controllable behaviors that people can engage in that increase the risk of having a severe or deadly accident, such as
- Drunk driving
- Using a cell phone while driving
- Failure to pay attention to the road
- Driving while drowsy / falling asleep while driving
Drowsy driving is surprisingly common, as people do not consider it to be as dangerous or irresponsible as some of the other behaviors mentioned on this list. Nevertheless, studies have found that 1,500 people are killed every year in the United States in car accidents caused by a drowsy driver.
Additionally, there are an estimated 100,000 accidents annually in the US caused by drowsy driving, resulting in at least 40,000 injuries.
