Drowsy driving is a dangerous, but frequent, activity. In 2019, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that there were 697 fatalities that occurred because of drowsy driving. In 2017, there were 91,000 police-reported crashes that involved a fatigued driver, which resulted in about 50,000 injured victims. The 2019 Traffic Safety Culture Index from the AAA Foundation For Traffic Safety found that 24% of drivers surveyed admitted to having driven while being so tired that they could hardly keep their eyes open at least once in the past month. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) reports that about 15% of all commercial truck crashes involve fatigue. It’s a serious, prevalent problem, and while the reasons why drowsy driving occurs so often vary, it’s never excusable. Drowsy driving is impaired driving! If you’ve been injured because of a tired driver, you’re not alone, and you can pursue damages for your injuries and for the toll of the accident.

Being involved in this type of accident can permanently alter the course of your life. You deserve to get financial restitution for the harm that the drowsy driver caused you and your family, but due to Florida’s PIP laws and the unwillingness of insurance companies to pay out claims, you need to enlist an experienced, aggressive attorney who will give you an advantage. Our St. Petersburg drowsy driving accident injury lawyers take the time to listen to your story, investigate the accident, and advocate for you to get a fair settlement. The Florida Law Group has recovered over $1 billion for injured accident victims to date! We are your top choice for quality legal representation.

It’s not fair for you to pay for a drowsy driver’s recklessness. Our lawyers relentlessly work towards a significant settlement!

A drowsy driver’s vehicle colliding with yours is a traumatizing experience – and an expensive one. You may have to pay for costs related to ambulatory or air transport, emergency room care, imaging tests like MRIs and X-rays, multiple surgeries, hospitalization, physical therapy or rehabilitation, chiropractic care, medical devices, medications, copays, deductibles, counseling, and more. You may be unable to work for weeks or months, resulting in missed wages. You may be unable to perform the same duties at work ever again, or become permanently disabled. You may be unable to enjoy your favorite activities, live independently (either temporarily or permanently), or have to cancel travel plans. If your injuries never heal, they may require lifelong care and pain management. All of this could add up to be hundreds of thousands of dollars – all stemming from one bad decision that you had no control over.

In these situations, you rightfully expect that an insurance company will have your back, but many insurance companies attempt to devalue or deny injury claims. They want to avoid paying out these types of drowsy driving accident injury claims because they keep more money that way – it’s important to remember that insurance companies are not your friend. It can be frustrating and fruitless to try to fight them on your own, especially while you are recovering from an accident. Having a lawyer on your side gives you real negotiating power! Our St. Petersburg drowsy driving accident injury lawyers aren’t intimidated by large insurance companies, and we won’t hesitate to take your case to trial if that’s what it takes to win! We know what maneuvers insurance carriers will use to try to discredit you, and we know our way around those. We have over 100 years of combined experience, and we will never let you settle for less than what your injuries are truly worth.

About The Florida Law Group’s St. Petersburg Presence

In 2021, The Florida Law Group announced our new St. Petersburg office, one of our now 11 locations around the state! Before that, we had been offering representation to victims in St. Pete via our Tampa office, but today we are closer and more accessible than ever before. Drowsy driving victims don’t have to travel out of the Pinellas Peninsula to meet with us! St. Petersburg is a vibrant, highly populated city (the 5th most crowded in the state), which means that drivers here are statistically more likely to experience an accident, including one caused by a fatigued, negligent driver.

If you are seeking to recover damages for your injuries, there is a statute of limitations – a deadline – that you have to meet if you want to file a claim. This is a time-sensitive matter!
