Phoenix Truck Accident Attorney
Driver Fatigue & Arizona Trucking Accidents
The trucking industry is booming and profiting billions of dollars each year. Many truckers are often pressed to get the job done in a timely manner in the effort to turn around quicker profits and increase a company’s revenue. Drivers are also often overworked, have very tight schedules and asked to meet very unrealistic deadlines; all of which can lead to driver fatigue. Many drivers often go without sleep for a 24 hour period or sometimes even longer. Those that do get sleep, often do so in shortened sporadic periods which are actually worse than getting no sleep at all.

A huge majority of truck accidents occur due to driver fatigue, drowsiness and sleeplessness. Driver fatigue can severely impair a truck driver’s ability to perform and react in a safe manner. It is said that for every hour that a truck driver loses sleep, it drastically increases the chances of an accident taking place. If you or a family member is in a truck accident and driver fatigue, negligence or recklessness is to blame then you may be able to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim. A Phoenix truck accident lawyer at our firm can meet with you to review the facts surrounding the accident and determine what type of compensation you may be entitled to ask for.
