The Dangers And Liability Of Truck Driver Fatigue
Truck driver fatigue is a serious problem that poses significant risks on our roads. Fatigue impairs a driver’s reaction time, judgment and attention, making them more prone to getting into accidents. Trucking companies are responsible for ensuring that their drivers adhere to federal regulations regarding rest breaks, maximum driving hours and mandatory rest periods. If a truck driver fails to comply with these regulations and causes an accident due to fatigue, the trucking company can be held liable for the resulting injuries and damages.
