Our lawyers have worked on many serious accident cases where a truck hits a car. Many times, the truck driver doesn’t take regular breaks and is just too tired to have good reaction time on the road. This can result in the truck hitting a car. The driver of the semi may fall asleep at the wheel, or his reaction time is just too slow because he is so tired.
When a semi truck hits a car and injures someone, an attorney from our office will look carefully at the driver’s log and compare it to the records of the locations where he stopped. We always have to verify the driver’s account because the logbooks are sometimes falsified. That is one step among many that is part of our investigation in a semi truck accident case.
