Fatigue and Truck Accidents
One of the fundamental rules of operating a motor vehicle is
that fatigue is a dangerous condition. Even the best drivers are dramatically
less effective when they are tired. And unfortunately, many of America’s truck
drivers are working while exhausted
This presents serious dangers to everyone on the road. If
you’ve been hurt in an accident that was caused by a truck driver’s fatigue,
the experienced truck
accident lawyers at The Cochran Firm can help you pursue justice and
compensation for your injuries.
Fatigue is one of the most common causes
of truck accidents. Exhausted truck drivers, driving through the night in
an attempt to stay on an ambitious schedule, have greatly diminished reaction
times. And with the massive size of modern commercial trucks, accidents
involving these vehicles are too-often deadly.
In these cases, the truck driver might not be the only party
liable for the accident. If our truck accident lawyers can prove that the
trucking company set an unrealistic and dangerous schedule, we can pursue
compensation from them as well.
If you need an experienced truck accident lawyer, we have
offices throughout the country to help you. Please contact The Cochran
Firm today to schedule a free consultation.
