Driver Fatigue
Truck Accidents Caused by Driver FatigueTruck drivers and trucking companies are under enormous economic pressure to make on-time deliveries. In some instances, the trucking company is charged thousands of dollars for every minute a delivery is late to its destination. Federal regulations limit the number of hours a truck driver can spend behind the wheel, but drivers frequently violate the regulations in order to meet unrealistic delivery schedules. Trust a Respected Name with a Winning Tradition The result is drowsy driving, drivers falling asleep at the wheel, or using stimulants, all of which contribute to truck accidents. The attorneys of Scott W. Schiff & Associates have been winning financial compensation for clients injured in truck accidents for more than 25 years. Driver fatigue is a common factor in our truck accident cases. If you have been injured in a truck accident, our attorneys will act quickly to obtain the log book truck drivers are required to maintain. Over the years, our lawyers have found that drivers may keep two sets of log books: the official version and the accurate one. We make certain to get both sets of books. In addition, if the truck was equipped with a satellite tracking system, we will obtain the data that will show exactly where the truck was when. If driver fatigue played a role in the truck accident that injured you, our legal team will do everything possible to find out. Then we will aggressively pursue a truck driver liability claim or a claim against the trucking company. Please contact us today to discuss your truck accident case. The initial consultation is free of charge and you will pay no attorney fees unless we win your case. Learn more: Visit our truck accidents information center. |
