Talk With a Nevada Operator Fatigue Lawyer About Your Truck Accident
Federal and state laws require truck drivers to work only a certain number of hours in a 24-hour period. The laws are designed to protect other vehicles on the road by requiring that truckers be fully rested before getting behind the wheel.
Unfortunately, this does not always happen.
Truckers may not be driving more than the specified number of hours, but they're certainly not always resting. Many spend their down time working another job or socializing instead of sleeping. When they do get behind the wheel, they put other drivers at risk by driving while fatigued.
At Eglet Wall, we hold drivers accountable for the harm they cause due to operator fatigue. Our team of experienced lawyers, paralegals and support staff advocates forcefully for accident victims. Through hard work, tenacity and attention to detail, we have achieved a record of success for truck accident victims.
Driver Fatigue and Pressure From Trucking Companies
Experience has shown us that there are other reasons that truckers put other drivers in danger on the roads. Most truck drivers never mean to cause harm to other people on the roads, but they face tremendous pressures from their employers. Trucking companies often pressure their drivers to go faster, further. The result? Truckers drive longer than they should. They drive when they are sleep deprived or intoxicated, and they often alter log books to hide records of their errors.
Choosing Cases Selectively: One of the Secrets to Our Success
Some law firms handle hundreds or even thousands of cases each year. How do they do it? Never intending to take cases to trial, they settle them as quickly as possible and keep a portion of the settlement amount.
Eglet Wall is not one of those firms. We choose our cases selectively and focus completely on the cases we accept. This approach means that we have the resources to take any of the cases we handle to court, so if a defendant won't settle for a favorable amount, we are ready to pursue the matter fully at trial.
Our selective approach also means that our clients get the personal attention they deserve. When clients call our Las Vegas law firm, they can speak directly with a lawyer who knows their case. Clients also receive regular case updates and can call anytime to have their questions answered by knowledgeable staff members.
