Take legal action today!<\/h3>\n<p>Truck drivers have a responsibility to operate their 18-wheelers safely and attentively. If a driver is intoxicated while behind the wheel, he or she is putting the lives and well-being of everyone on the road in danger. Our Beaumont personal injury attorneys believe that truck drivers should be held accountable for the irresponsible consumption and use of alcohol and drugs. If you were injured in an accident caused by a truck driver&#8217;s impairment, you have the right to take legal action.<\/p>\n<p>At Brasher Law Firm, PLLC, we have a team of highly competent and dedicated attorneys.

Our team of legal professionals is prepared to help you face negligent truck drivers and their companies with aggressive and efficient litigation.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"av-special-heading-tag\">Drug and Alcohol Driver Restrictions<\/h3>\n<p>It is illegal for drivers of all automobiles to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol behind the wheel. However, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has imposed additional, stricter restrictions on drivers of 18-wheelers. The immense size and weight of a truck means that the smallest lapse in attention can be fatal. Thus, it is crucial that truck drivers maintain complete sobriety so that they can focus on the safe operation of their commercial motor vehicle.<\/p>\n<h4>The FMCSA has implemented restrictions for truck drivers on the following:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Possession of controlled substances, narcotic drugs, amphetamines<\/li>\n<li>Consumption of alcohol within 4 hours of operating a truck<\/li>\n<li>Consumption of alcohol while operating a truck<\/li>\n<li>Possession of alcohol<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore, no company may permit or require drivers to possess or use alcohol or drugs. Thus, not only can you take action against an impaired truck driver, but you can also pursue compensation from a truck company that failed to enforce restrictions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"av-special-heading-tag\">Quality Counsel from a Top 100 Trial Lawyer<\/h3>\n<p>Operating an 18-wheeler requires nothing but complete attentiveness and vigilance.
