Federal hours-of-service regulations exist for a reason - fatigued truck drivers are as dangerous as drunk drivers. But tight deadlines and economic pressure push many truckers past their limits, creating deadly conditions for everyone on the road.
Signs of Truck Driver Fatigue Accidents
- No braking before impact
- Drifting across lanes
- Crashes during typical fatigue hours (2-6 AM, 2-4 PM)
- Single-vehicle run-off-road crashes
- Driver unable to explain what happened
Proving Fatigue in Your Case
Electronic logging devices (ELDs) now track truck driver hours. But carriers sometimes manipulate or falsify logs. Evidence we pursue includes:
- ELD data and driver logs
- Dispatch records showing unrealistic schedules
- Driver's recent work history
- Truck's black box data
- Cell phone and GPS records
If You're a Truck Driver
If you're a truck driver injured in a fatigue-related crash - whether you fell asleep or another fatigued driver hit you - you may have workers' comp rights PLUS claims against the other driver or even your own carrier for pushing you past safe limits.
