In 2009 there were reportedly 3,200 deaths in accidents involving big trucks. As much as one-third of all commercial motor vehicle crashes are due to fatigue, according to the NTSB. In order to try and prevent crashes caused by fatigue, rules and regulations are in place which limit the amount of time a driver can spend behind the wheel.
Even though regulations exist, companies routinely push their drivers to exceed their driving hour limits in order to increase productivity and profits. If you have been injured by a commercial vehicle, you should contact an attorney to review your case. GDH (205)912-8251
