Recent changes to the HOS hours-of-service regulations for commercial truck drivers - think they are working?
The legal analyst at our recognized accident injury law firm based in Houston, Texas took a look at the safety statistics and shared our findings here.
We also asked the question - are sleep disorders receiving enough attention by lawmakers at the Dept. of Transportation.
What do we mean?
Look, driver error is the leading cause of serious accidents and fatal crashes on our highway.
Fatigue and sleep driving by truck operators is linked directly with accident rates.
Operators afflicted with sleep disorders such as sleep apnea can have higher fatigue rates despite following the HOS driving restrictions perfectly.
Drivers on our roads need restful, rejuvenating sleep periods so they have the reaction times and unclouded decision making properties of a well rested individual.
Look, to address this problem in Texas (our home state) and across the nation, we need more than just opinion -- so our law firm has been gathering the data being reported during our investigation.
We represent accident victims involved in wrecks and see first hand the damage that can be done when our safety efforts fall short. Let's put me out of business as a truck accident attorney - by making our roads as safe as possible together.
