Truck accidents are a major concern for highway safety. Although
statistics show that trucking accidents are on the decline, when they do
happen they are often deadly. Truck drivers making deliveries work on
deadlines. When they are close to their deadlines they must work faster
to get the job done. Unfortunately, this means higher speeds and less
sleep for operators of tractor trailers. The stress and fatigue of the
driver often leads to driver error causing catastrophic accidents.
Safety measures are in place, such as driver logs, to help protect other
drivers from accidents with tractor trailers. An El Paso auto accident
injury attorney skilled in the traffic laws governing the trucking
