Driver Fatigue

Here for You When Truck Driver Fatigue Causes Injuries and Wrongful Death

Federal trucking regulations specify how many hours a truck driver can be on the road in order to reduce driver fatigue. Too often, however, these regulations are ignored in favor of a higher profit. When truck drivers get tired, they can fall asleep at the wheel, have diminished control over their big rig, and make other serious and potentially fatal mistakes.

We have extensive experience and knowledge in protecting our clients' rights and obtaining maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Bronx Truck Driver Logs Lawyers

When a truck driver falls asleep at the wheel, or makes an error in judgment because of lack of sleep, who is at fault? Truck companies cannot control how much sleep their drivers get each night. However, they should enforce accurate driving logs, and not demand that their drivers be on the road longer than regulations allow.

Our lawyers will thoroughly investigate your truck accident to determine if truck driver negligence or truck company negligence is to blame. We may be able to seek compensation from both sources, maximizing the recovery you receive.
