Driver Fatigue and Hours of Service Rules in Truck Accident Claims
Driver Fatigue and Hours of Service Rules in Truck Accident Claims When a semi-truck crash happens near the end of a long shift, an early question is whether the driver had stayed inside the federal hours-of-service limits. Fatigue rarely leaves skid marks, which is why the answer tends to come from records instead of the road itself. A truck accident lawyer looking at one of these claims usually starts by comparing the driver's logs against every other record of the trip.
