Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious auto accidents

January 9, 2020

Even the best drivers in Colorado could be hurt or killed in a car accident caused by someone else's carelessness. This carelessness can also happen in other ways. Distracted driving, caused mainly by texting while driving, keeps going up. On the contrary, there is an increasing trend of individuals driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including high driving. Even driver fatigue, including sleep apnea, can play a tragic role in sleep apnea and trucking accidents. It is essential to show that the other person was at fault for accident victims who want to get paid for their injuries. But it's not always easy to figure out what caused a car crash.

For example, truckers who follow government rules can't drive their vehicles if they have a health problem that makes it hard to drive safely. However, numerous truckers experience such medical conditions and either neglect to disclose them to their employer or fail to seek the required medical treatment for driving clearance.

One of these dangerous conditions is sleep apnea. This medical condition causes an individual’s breathing to periodically stop, thereby causing the individual to wake up. These sleep interruptions can occur as often as 400 times in a single night. As a result, sleep apnea suffers often slog through their day overly tired and susceptible to falling asleep at a moment’s notice. For truckers, this can put not only their own safety and well-being at risk, but also the safety of other motorists on the road.

Negligence in car accidents is a critical factor that victims need to understand to build a compelling claim. For the claim to work, it is vital to do holistic research. If the victim is careful, they can find proof of neglect, like a trucker's untreated medical condition, which will help their case.

what our client’s say

I thought I needed a big city lawyer for my workers’ compensation case, so I hired the Strong Arm. After he took the easy money, he told me I was done. I fired him and took my case to the Larson Law Firm, PC. They fought for me and got another $80,000.
