One of the main reasons for several truck accidents each year is driver fatigue. Driver fatigue can cause accidents due to reduced reaction times and poor judgment, plus several other debilitating conditions. Drivers can forget to perform basic operational procedures, become less aware of surrounding environmental conditions, and in the worse-case scenario, could fall asleep behind the wheel.
These trucks are involved in serious auto accidents every year, causing injuries, deaths, and property damage. Victims who walk away with their lives often sustain severe, disabling, and life-changing injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident caused by a fatigued truck driver, you might be entitled to compensation.
