Warning Signs of Driver Fatigue
- Drifting between lanes or delayed responses to traffic signals.
- Erratic driving behavior, including sudden braking.
- Falling asleep at the wheel, leading to devastating crashes.
- Ignoring required rest breaks, violating federal trucking regulations.
Legal Actions for Victims
- Holding trucking companies accountable for unsafe schedules and policies.
- Seeking compensation for severe injuries caused by fatigued drivers.
- Filing lawsuits for medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation.
- Investigating violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations.
