No one should ever drive drunk because alcohol greatly impairs a driver’s judgment and reaction time. In the state of Missouri, the legal limit for blood alcohol content is .08%, but commercial drivers are held to an even stricter standard. If you or a loved one has been injured due to a drunk truck driver, you deserve compensation. Reach out to Goldblatt + Singer for legal guidance and help.

In these situations, it is important to know that you are often entitled to much higher compensation than what they are offering. By retaining legal help, you will be able to receive the compensation that you deserve.
