Driving an 18-wheeler requires constant attention to detail and the ability to make split-second decisions on the road. When truck drivers abuse alcohol or drugs, they lose the ability to safely operate trucks, putting the lives of every other person on the road at risk.
At Bohanan & Associates P.C., our lawyers have extensive experience handling truck accident injury claims, including those involving drug and alcohol abuse. We are committed to helping clients throughout Alabama obtain full and fair compensation for the losses they have suffered.

When Truck Drivers Abuse Alcohol and Drugs
While the overwhelming majority of truck drivers are responsible, law-abiding citizens, it only takes one careless truck driver to shatter or end a life. Because of the size and speed of 18-wheelers and other large trucks, truck accident injuries often result in catastrophic and even fatal injuries.
Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations of truck accident cases, to determine if drug or alcohol abuse played a role in the accident. We seek evidence from police reports, Breathalyzer test results, blood test results and other sources that help us link drinking and driving to our clients' accident injuries.
Trucking companies are required by law to screen applicants for drug and alcohol problems, and to employ a zero tolerance policy to their employees. In a truck accident case involving drug or alcohol abuse, both the truck driver and the trucking company may be held liable. We are committed to holding all negligent parties accountable for their actions to help our clients and to make the roads safer for others.
