Houston Truck Accidents | Lawyers
Truck drivers are often the victim of too many hours on the road and because of their grueling schedules; they often experience extreme cases of driver fatigue. They drive these large trucks for days on end, sometimes with just an hour or so of break time before they are back on the road for another eight hour shift.
Semi-truck drivers are some of the most dangerous drivers on the road today. Their danger does not come in the form of deliberate acts of recklessness, but instead from the fact that they are operating 18 wheelers with very little rest, across long stretches of highway, at all hours of the day and night. Because of their issues with driver fatigue, a higher percentage of truck accidents are being blamed on the driver’s lack of sleep, which is causing drivers to fall asleep while at the wheel behind tons of moving metal.
