Driver Fatigue Is a Leading Cause of Truck Accident Injuries
Truck accidents can cause severe, life-altering injuries and even death. Sadly, many truck accidents are avoidable if truck drivers and trucking companies followed the law. There are specific laws pertaining to how long truckers can be on the road in order to prevent truck driver fatigue — a leading cause of truck accidents. At Grandy & Martin, P.A., in Charlotte, North Carolina, we know that not all truck drivers adhere to federal regulations and we are dedicated to holding them responsible for injuries and deaths caused by negligence.
