San Antonio Personal Injury Firm Serving Injuries From Truck Driver Fatigue

Truck drivers work in a pressure-filled environment where time means money. Because they are often paid by the mile, truck drivers may push themselves to cover as many miles as they can in as short a time as possible to maximize their take-home pay. This means that truck drivers frequently drive fatigued, jeopardizing their lives as well as the lives of everyone on Texas roads.At Davis Law Firm, we know that truck drivers, shipping companies and their insurance companies have a significant financial interest in avoiding responsibility for trucking accidents.

Driving While Tired

Truck driver fatigue is a leading cause of trucking accidents, resulting in an estimated 1,200 fatal accidents and 76,000 serious injuries throughout the U.S, according to a 2009 study conducted by Caterpillar. Despite federal regulations governing how long they are permitted to drive, many truck drivers use falsified or dummy driver logbooks to conceal their true hours worked.

Our attorneys have successfully handled many truck driver fatigue cases and we know how to expose fake logbook entries to establish a true timeline of events. We use food and diesel fuel receipts as well as GPS tracking data to determine if any hours of service regulations were broken and if the trucker was driving while tired.
