If you are injured by a drunk truck driver, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries, including the following:

Medical expenses
Lost wages
Pain and suffering, which includes emotional distress, disability, disfigurement
Cost of care
Other damages

Drinking and Driving Even if the truck driver was not “drunk” under state law, the driver may have violated federal regulations governing interstate, commercial truck drivers. Under these regulations, “no driver shall report for duty or remain on duty requiring the performance of safety-sensitive functions while having an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater” (49 CFR Part §382.201). Violation of this regulation is evidence of driver negligence in a lawsuit seeking accident victim compensation.
