Truck driver fatigue is often mentioned as one of the top causes of trucking accidents. The driver's log is supposed to give evidence that a trucker rested sufficiently between driving periods. It is not uncommon for truckers to "fudge" the records in the trucking log to give the appearance of compliance with laws and regulations. Furthermore, stopping the truck for a period of time does not prove that the trucker actually gets sleep as he should.
A detailed investigation, however, will often bring to light evidence that a truck driver may have been sleepy or tired when driving. "Driving while fatigued" can be as dangerous as " driving while intoxicated." If the truck driver in the accident that injured you or killed your loved one was tired, your personal injury lawyer wants to know that important piece of information.
An experienced truck accident attorney knows how to obtain evidence of driver fatigue, how to apply it to preparation of a strong case for compensation, how to present the case to insurers or a jury, and how to use this and other key facts to protect an accident victim's right to compensation. An injured person has little or no chance of gathering this information in time or presenting it with full force in settlement negotiations or in a courtroom the way a knowledgeable attorney can.
