Trucking Accidents and Driver Fatigue: The Dangers of Overworked Drivers

Driver fatigue is one of the leading causes of catastrophic trucking accidents. Long-haul drivers are often pressured to meet unrealistic deadlines, leading to exhaustion and reduced reaction times on the road.

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.
Moore Payne ensures trucking companies prioritize safety and that victims receive the compensation they deserve.
