Truck Driver Fatigue Related Accidents

Fatigue related motor vehicle accidents occur through acts of negligence and are avoidable. The culprits are on the road every night. Falling asleep at the wheel doesn’t take place instantaneously. There are warning signs. The driver will very briefly nod off before waking with a start. Does he do what is safe and pull over to rest OR does he act in negligence and push on to reach one more exit?

Take the first step in holding negligent car drivers, truck drivers, and trucking companies accountable for the damage they have caused. Contact the personal injury attorneys of Goldstein & Hayes, P.C. today to receive a free case evaluation.

Fatigue related accidents are not always the driver’s fault alone. Trucking companies pay drivers by the mile and there is incentive to quickly go from pickup to delivery. The number of hours per day and the number of consecutive hours that a trucker is allowed to drive is strictly regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA); however, some trucking companies disregard these regulations. Our experienced lawyers investigate the accident, ask all the right questions, and follow the paperwork trail to identify all those who may be guilty of negligence.

The attorneys at Goldstein & Hayes, P.C. will argue and negotiate on your behalf to receive damages to compensate for medical expenses, lost income, property damage and physical/mental pain and suffering.
