Most drivers in Colorado understand the dangers of drunk or drugged driving. What many don’t realize, however, is that driving while tired—or “drowsy driving”—can be just as dangerous. At our Colorado personal injury law firm, we have represented far too many clients who were seriously injured because another driver chose to get behind the wheel without adequate rest.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drowsy driving is responsible for an estimated 100,000 crashes, 71,000 injuries, and 1,500 deaths every year in the United States. These alarming numbers show just how serious fatigue-related accidents can be.
