Cherry Hill Driver Fatigue Accident Lawyers
There are specific rules that apply to truck drivers. One of those rules dictates the number of hours a truck driver can spend behind the wheel at one time. This is an important rule, designed to prevent the accidents that could be caused when a truck driver's fatigue causes him or her to fall asleep while behind the wheel. Unfortunately, it is a rule that is frequently violated by truck drivers whose jobs require them to get a load from point A to point B as quickly as they possibly can.
At the Ferrara Law Firm, LLC, we have been standing up for the rights of accident victims throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania since 1972. We have the skill and experience to handle truck driver fatigue accidents, a fact that is proven by the millions of dollars we have already recovered for victims.
Truck Driving and Drug Use
While many truck drivers rely on coffee and other caffeinated beverages to keep their eyes open when they are behind the wheel, others turn to less legal methods. Amphetamines like Adderall and Dexedrine may be used. These drugs can cause additional problems, and their use is a clear sign of negligence that truck drivers should be held accountable for.
How Do You Know if a Semi-truck Driver Was Fatigued?
Our attorneys carefully investigate every truck accident case. If a truck's cab is littered with energy drink bottles and caffeinated beverage cans, that may be a sign that the truck driver had put in too many hours, but we will need more evidence than that. By reviewing logs and mileage information, we can determine how many hours the driver spent on the road.
