Victoria Commercial Trucker Driver Fatigue

Have you or a loved one sustained injuries in Victoria because of a negligent commercial truck driver? One common cause of local truck accidents is Victoria commercial trucker driver fatigue. Since truckers are expected to log significant miles and are often paid by the mile, they are pressured by a number of factors to push themselves to the point of exhaustion, which can cause disastrous results. Given the size and weight of commercial trucks, accidents involving a tractor-trailer often cause serious or fatal injuries.

Our goal is to provide every bit of compensation we believe our clients deserve, which not only helps you recover from your injuries and damages, but gives these drivers and their companies more incentive to correct their wayward practices.

Victoria 18 wheeler accidents, like accidents across the country, have encouraged both state governments and the federal government to create regulations regarding how many hours truckers can drive and the way they must drive their trucks. A national Department of Transportation study found that driver fatigue caused 31% of commercial trucking accidents in a single year. Fatigue causes drivers to have slower reaction times, make poor decisions, or even fall asleep. It also causes some truck drivers to use illicit drugs to try and stay alert. When truck drivers ignore these rules, they can quickly become a hazard on the roads of Victoria and elsewhere.

Our attorneys are familiar with these regulations and are experts at matching the circumstances of a collision with the specific state or federal law a trucker was violating just before impact. Our ability to quickly assess damages and ascribe fault in cases like these sets us apart from other south Texas law firms.
