Atlanta Truck Driver Fatigue

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that driver fatigue is responsible for between 30-40% of all truck accidents. Without a doubt, that’s a figure that is too high.

In particular, fatigue can reduce awareness, slow reaction time and cloud decision making, which can reduce an operator’s capacity to handle their vehicle safely. When drivers are tired, unnecessary and preventable accidents happen.

If you’ve been in an accident involving a tractor-trailer, it’s important to seek the counsel of an experienced attorney. Further, it’s important to work with an injury lawyer who has an expert knowledge of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety rules, which dictate and limit the amount of time a driver is allowed to drive without taking a break.
