Harrisburg Drowsy Driving Victim Lawyers

Americans are sleep-deprived. The radical changes in the way we live that have occurred since the invention of the light bulb enabled many positive developments. But in today’s “go, go, go” culture, there has been a tradeoff as people try to cram more hours into the day and sacrifice sleep. This has been linked with many health problems and a negative effect on productivity in the workplace.

However, one of the most harmful results of this hectic culture has been the tragic impact on Pennsylvania’s innocent drivers and pedestrians. Driving while drowsy is deadly and dumb. If you have been the victim of a drowsy driver’s recklessness, contact the Harrisburg drowsy driving victim attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511.

The Dangers of Drowsy Driving

Many people have come to accept drowsiness as part of their daily routine, and they down energy drinks, coffee, and herbal supplements to try to combat their fatigue. But as one doctor puts it, “Drowsiness is red alert!” The sensation of drowsiness is the body’s attempt to communicate that sleep is imminent and may occur at any second.

When drivers ignore this sensation, they jeopardize their own lives and the lives of others. In a report released by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration several years ago, the conservative estimate was that 71,000 injuries and 1,500 fatalities are caused by drowsy driving every year.
