Driver Fatigue Truck Accidents in Santa Rosa
Why do drivers drive while fatigued? The answer is typically that they are chasing profit, pushing their bodies past their natural limits to deliver more, faster. In some cases, drivers are personally responsible for driving while fatigued. In other cases, it is the trucking company that leaves them no choice but to drive in this unsafe manner.
Regardless, federal laws limit the number of hours a truck driver can work per day, on consecutive days and per week. Drivers must fill out logbooks to show they are complying with these laws.
In handling a truck accident case in which we suspect driver fatigue, we can take the information in logbooks and check it against hotel receipts, restaurant receipts, GPS data and other information to see if it is correct.
