Indiana Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Attorneys
Whether it’s getting up early to drop off the kids at school or starting the daily commute to the office, most adults drive while feeling drowsy. It often feels inevitable due to our busy schedules and lack of sleep.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, 60 percent of adults in the United States drive drowsy, and one-third of drivers fall asleep at the wheel. It is a simple action with severe consequences, such as a car accident that could harm you or someone else.
