The Role of Fatigue in Las Vegas Truck Accidents
Most people know that it is difficult to do almost anything well while exhausted. The same is true for driving a truck. A driver's attention and reaction time are hindered by tiredness, as are general decision-making and eyesight. Exhaustion is especially dangerous for truck drivers because limitations on their ability to drive well put many other lives in danger.
Our Nevada driver fatigue accident attorneys have extensive experience helping clients obtain compensation for injuries or wrongful deaths that result from negligent truck driving. At Harris & Harris Lawyers, we pride ourselves on getting results for our clients, obtaining more than $18 million in verdicts and settlements since 2005.
We have represented many injured Nevada clients who suffered trucking accidents along Interstate 15, State Route 215, Spring Mountain Road and State Route 95 that resulted from fatigued truck drivers. Fatigued truck driver accident cases can involve issues that include:
- Logbook violations: Drivers often alter their logbook numbers to avoid liability.
- Drug- and alcohol-related trucking accidents: Alcohol and many drugs are classified as depressants, which increase tiredness in users.
- Construction zone/dangerous roadway accidents: Driving at night or while exhausted decreases drivers' ability to navigate dangerous roads and construction zones.
We know that no two truck accident cases are the same. That is why we take the time at the beginning of each case to meet the client and listen carefully to the facts of the case, as well as the client's goals for representation.
