Overscheduled Truck Drivers in Northglenn Accidents

Hours of service regulations are put in place by the government to keep trucking companies from over-scheduling their drivers. When a driver is asked by their employer to stay on the road too long for continued safe driving, that company may be held responsible for whatever serious mistakes that driver makes as a result. Overworked truck drivers are both a danger to themselves and to other motorists on the road who may be struck in a collision. If you have been injured due to an overscheduled truck driver in a Northglenn accident, the truck accident attorneys from Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., can help.

What Are the Hazards of Overworking Truck Drivers?

Truck drivers need plenty of rest and off-duty time to recover from long hours on the highways. If they don’t get time to rest, they may not be able to stay awake or pay attention to the road ahead of them, causing the following problems:

Failing to stop before striking another motorist
Failing to pay attention to vehicles entering or exiting no-zones around the truck
Falling asleep behind the wheel and drifting off the road, potentially colliding with other vehicles as a result
Forgetting to use indicator signals before changing lanes due to exhaustion

When overscheduled, these kinds of critical errors can lead a truck driver to cause a collision with another motorist in Northglenn, possibly leaving that motorist with severe injuries as a result. If medical care is necessary after a collision, the injured individual may be entitled to pursue compensation from the trucking company responsible for pushing that truck driver beyond the legal scheduling limits.
