Truck Driver Fatigue Causes Fatal Truck Accident
One of the biggest contributing factors to large truck accidents is truck driver fatigue. This is often due to excessive hours on the road, lack of sleep, and other medical conditions that cause fatigue The results of this fatigue are often catastrophic.
In a Mississipi truck accident, a truck driver reportedly dozed off while driving an 18 wheeler and rear-ended a van, killing a family of four in the van. It occurred while the van was waiting at a red light and the truck plowed into the back of it. The truck was owned by JNJ Express. Police are still investigating the truck accident.
My condolences go out to surviving family members of these victims. This is a terrible tragedy that should have never happened.
The surviving family members do have legal rights and can file a Wrongful Death Lawsuit. I do not practice law in Mississipi but I suggest that the family hire the best possible truck accident lawyer. It is essential to choose an attorney that specializes in truck accident cases so that all necessary evidence can be preserved and all possible avenues of settlement be explored.
