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 industry will look into these logs to help determine
fault in the accident.
