Decades of Experience Handling Truck Accident Lawsuits
Aggressive Legal Help When Truck Driver Fatigue Leads to Serious Injuries
When you're short on rest and decide to retire early for the night, nobody is harmed. When a fatigued truck driver decides to "get a few more miles under his or her belt," other drivers and their passengers can be seriously injured and even killed.
If you have been injured in a truck accident or have lost a loved one in a truck accident, contact the attorneys of the San Francisco-area personal injury law firm of O'Reilly Collins. The reasons behind a truck accident are rarely visible in the days following an accident. Instead, aggressive and skilled investigation is often needed to determine whether vehicle maintenance issues, driver fatigue or other regulation violations played a part in the accident.
Lawyers Skilled at Investigating Instances of Driver Fatigue
Truck drivers face strict federal regulations regarding the number of hours they can drive in a day. Unfortunately, economics serves as a powerful motivator to "bend" these regulations. Many truck accidents, then, are caused by truck drivers who:
- Drove too many hours in a day
- Were under the influence of prescription medication that caused fatigue
- Failed to obtain the rest needed to drive safely
We are highly familiar with the regulations governing truck drivers and can obtain and analyze employee records, drivers' logs and other operating records that can help us prove truck driver negligence and prepare a strong case for compensation.
