Fatigued Public Transportation Drivers Put Public At Risk (Part A)

There have been a number of high-profile driving fatigue accidents involving public transportation drivers in the news lately. These incidents illustrate that driver fatigue can affect anyone -- even professional drivers. If you have been injured by a drowsy driver, you should consult with a personal injury attorney that specializes in driver fatigue in Boston, Massachusetts. It is important that the lawyer has handled these types of cases and that the attorney understands car accidents and driving fatigue.

Driving Fatigue Accident in Michigan

A Canadian National train crashed into another in Michigan, killing two men and injuring numerous others, and investigators attributed it to driver fatigue. Investigators said that the conductor suffered from sleep apnea, which can result in extreme fatigue and cause you fall asleep easily, according to the Michigan Daily. The conductor knew he had sleep apnea, and he had received some treatment for the condition, but he was still allowed to continue his job normally.

Fatal Driver Fatigue Accident in California

A similar story occurred in Corona, California, when a train operator fell asleep. As a result, his train collided with another train, and four passengers were killed in this driving fatigue accident, according to the Los Angeles Times. The NTSB concluded that the driver suffered from fatigue because of his working schedule.

Whether you have been injured in a car accident or public transportation accident, you should still contact a personal injury lawyer. Ideally, you should contact a personal injury attorney immediately after your accident to learn about your rights and determine liability. Massachusetts has a statute of limitations that may prohibit you from filing a lawsuit if too much time has passed. Contact The Law Office of Thomas M. Kiley for guidance on your personal injury case.
