If you think about it, almost 1 in 2 Americans is on some form of prescription medication. Some of these are vital, such as cholesterol or high blood pressure medication, and others are due to the chronic illnesses that keep rising with each passing year. Drivers who expect to be alert on the road may want to think twice before taking prescription medication, or they may want to consult with their physician so they don’t put others at risk. Prescription medication can alter your mood, cognitive skills and reaction time, making them part of a perfect storm that can lead to an accident.

Here are some of the medications that may make driving a dangerous affair:
- Anti anxiety medication
- Pain medication
- Allergy medication
- Antidepressants
- Antipsychotics

Hurt By A Driver on Prescription Medication? Call Us Today
If you were injured by a drugged driver, you are legally responsible when it comes to proving that their negligence was the proximate cause of your injuries. In addition, you must establish that your injuries are considerable enough to warrant the money damages you are seeking, and this is typically done via a medical exam, a series of treatments, prescription medication, time off work and so on. It is important however to note that most auto accident cases do not go to trial, and that they get solved by our prescription drug accident lawyers who engage with the insurance company and negotiate on your behalf. Time is of the essence, and the sooner you get started, the easier it will be to collect all evidence in one place and give your case the merit it deserves. Were you hurt by a driver who was on prescription medication at the time of your crash? Please contact McCready Law NOW at (773) 823-0298 for your 100% FREE legal consultation.
