Truck Driver Fatigue
Columbus Truck Accident Attorneys Protecting Your Rights
Many estimates put truck driver fatigue at the top of the list for the most common causes of dangerous truck accidents, as hours on the road seem to make truckers drift to sleep behind the wheel. In fact, the recent truck accident case that injured popular comedian Tracy Morgan and took the life of another was linked to trucker exhaustion. As it should be entirely preventable to keep a truck driver from getting on the road while fatigued, accidents stemming from this type of neglect are completely inexcusable.

Why is Immediate Medical Attention After a Truck Accident Important?
After a truck accident, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine. Injuries from such incidents can manifest hours or days later, and early diagnosis can be vital for your recovery and any potential legal claims. Our Columbus truck accident attorneys understand the nuances of these cases and can help you navigate the complexities of medical documentation and treatment.
Here’s why prompt medical attention is essential:
- Documentation of Injuries: Medical records provide crucial evidence that can support your claim.
- Injury Prevention: Early treatment can prevent minor injuries from becoming severe, ensuring a quicker recovery.
- Legal Leverage: Consistent medical care demonstrates to insurance companies that you are serious about your recovery, strengthening your case.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that you are taking the right steps for your health can alleviate stress during a challenging time.
At Rourke & Blumenthal, we emphasize the importance of your health and well-being. Our team is here to guide you through the legal process while ensuring you receive the medical care you need. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance and advice on the next steps after your accident.

Wonderful firm! We have worked with other attorneys in the past and Mike and Tim blew us away. If you have a brain injury in the State of Ohio, you NEED attorneys who are experienced in TBI cases, not just motor vehicle accidents or other personal injury matters. It makes a huge difference having an attorney who understands the medical, emotional, and financial issues a family suffers after a TBI. They are professional, compassionate, and great communicators. I would recommend this office to anyone.- Suzanne

Attorney Jon Stoudt is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. He did everything he could to help me. From the start, Jon was very responsive and always explained everything in terms I could easily understand. Jon's staff was also kind and responsive. I highly recommend Jon and would use him again in the future. Several months after being done with my case, another lawyer, handling a different part of the case, commented on how well Jon handled my civil suit.- Jillian

From the very beginning and to the very end of a long process, Mr. Rourke and his team were extremely compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly. I found them to be honest and easy to communicate with, day or night, weekday or weekend. Mr. Rourke was always professional but at the same time made you feel important and took as much time that was needed to explain the many steps in this process. Everyone of his team were very respectful and caring of everyone in my family involved in our case. I will have an admiration for Mr. Rourke and his team for the remainder of my life.- Kelly

I suffered physical injuries and a concussion from an auto accident in December of 2020. The team, from receptionist to attorneys, were nothing less than stellar, professional, kind, and hard working. The accident and aftermath were extremely stressful; but the Rourkes, Michael Senior and Michael Junior, helped me navigate the process while I focused on healing. For me, recovery from the accident was the most important part of the process. While I worked on recovering, Rourke and Blumenthal worked on negotiating a fantastic settlement for me. I will forever be grateful for their help!- Maggie S.
