What is a Drowsy Driving Truck Accident?
A drowsy driving truck accident occurs when a truck driver operates their vehicle while fatigued or sleep-deprived, impairing their ability to react quickly and make sound judgments. Truck drivers are required by law to take mandatory rest breaks, but when they ignore these rules or drive beyond their hours-of-service limits, they risk causing serious accidents. Drowsy driving can lead to the truck driver falling asleep at the wheel, drifting into other lanes, or having delayed responses to traffic signals and road hazards.
Â
These accidents can result in devastating consequences, including severe injuries or fatalities. If you’ve been involved in a drowsy driving truck accident, Mokaram Injury Lawyers can help you navigate the legal process and secure the compensation you deserve.
Causes of Drowsy Driving Truck Accidents
Hours-of-Service Violations: Truckers driving beyond federally mandated limits without proper rest.
Pressure from Employers: Unrealistic delivery deadlines that push drivers to skip rest breaks.
Sleep Disorders: Conditions like sleep apnea can lead to chronic fatigue.
Night Driving: Driving during natural sleep hours increases the risk of drowsiness.
Medication Side Effects: Some prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs can cause drowsiness.
Long, Uninterrupted Trips: Driving for extended periods without breaks leads to exhaustion.
Monotonous Highways: Boring, repetitive roads can cause drivers to lose focus and become drowsy.
Inadequate Sleep: Simply not getting enough rest before a shift.
Irregular Sleep Schedules: Frequent changes in driving shifts disrupt natural sleep rhythms.
Poor Health and Nutrition: Unhealthy habits can reduce a driver's overall alertness.
