Truck drivers are required by federal law to limit the number of hours they drive in a single day and in a week. When truck drivers exceed allowable drive time hours the risk for falling asleep at the wheel increases. In order to avoid violating drive-time restrictions, truck drivers may speed or falsify their driver's log book. As driver fatigue takes its toll, a truck driver's judgment may become impaired resulting in recklessness and negligent actions.
At the personal injury Leifer Law Firm, we hold negligent truck drivers financially accountable for their actions. Working with investigators, we analyze the contents of a truck's onboard black box, a truck driver's log book, fuel and food receipts, and cell phone records. We recreate what happened in order to determine if a driver was fatigued or speeding at the time of an accident.
