Should truck drivers be screened for sleep problems?

Truck accidents can be extremely deadly. According to MSNBC.com, truck accidents kill 5,000 and injure over 100,000 Americans every year, and many of these truck accidents are related to driver fatigue. The results of these driving fatigue accidents can be horrific.

As MSNBC reports, a young mother and her 10-month-old child were killed in Kansas when their car was hit by a large truck. The truck driver suffered from sleep apnea, which can contribute to driver fatigue. As a result of driving fatigue accidents like these, some trucking companies are screening their drivers for sleep problems and helping them get treatment. It's certainly a step in the right direction.

If you, or a member of your family, have been injured in a truck accident, contact a personal injury attorney for help. Be sure to choose a personal injury lawyer that specializes in driving fatigue accidents.
