Truck drivers are under an extreme amount of pressure to meet delivery deadlines. Failure to do so can result in a loss of income and often puts future business in jeopardy for the driver and his or her employer. This type of pressure frequently compels drivers to make irresponsible decisions about getting the necessary amount of sleep versus continuing to drive.
Operating an 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer or other commercial truck requires complete concentration and that the driver to be fully alert at all times. Any lapse can impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the truck and can lead to serious accidents that often result in severe or life-threatening injuries.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a trucking accident that happened because the driver fell asleep at the wheel or was impaired due to lack of sleep, you have the right to seek compensation for any injuries or losses you have suffered. It is important that you seek the advice of a reputable New York truck driver fatigue accident lawyer who can help you understand your rights and legal options.
