New York Truck Driver Fatigue Accident Lawyer
On July 1, 2013, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) put into effect new hours-of-service rules for truck drivers. While the new rules are designed to keep truckers and those with whom they share the road with safe, but accidents due to truck driver fatigue continue to occur in New York City and the surrounding areas.

FMCSA’s New Hours-of-Service Rule:
According to information taken from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s website, the new hours-of-service final rule:
- Limits the maximum average work week for truck drivers to 70 hours, a decrease from 82 hours
- Allows truck drivers who reach the maximum 70 hours of driving within a week to resume if they rest for 34 consecutive hours, including at least two nights when they sleep from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
- Requires truck drivers to take a 30-minute break during the first eight hours of a shift
The rule regarding an 11-hour daily driving limit and 14-hour work day remains the same.
Truckers are under constant demand to carry loads to and from destinations. In some instances, they may take drugs to stay awake, fall asleep at the wheel, or otherwise drive in an erratic and unsafe manner in order to get their routes done on time. They may falsify logbooks to make it look like they are following the hours-of-service rules, when in actuality, they are driving over the allowed limits.

We Can Help You Regardless of Your Specific Paralysis Injury
According to Cleveland Clinic, paralysis results when any part of the neurologic relay system suffers damage. When the brain, nerves, or spinal cord suffers damage, the signals instructing muscles to move are blocked, resulting in paralysis.
There are several types and degrees of paralysis, including:
- Partial
- Complete
- Permanent
- Temporary
- Flaccid
- Spastic
Paralysis can result due to an accident involving a spinal cord injury or brain injury. The inability to move certain muscles can have a devastating impact on your ability to walk or to engage in your favorite activities.
The most common causes of paralyzing injuries from trauma include the following:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Construction or work site incidents
- Falls
- Recreational injuries
- Nursing home negligence
- Medical malpractice
If you experienced an injury that left you with paralysis and your injury is due to the negligent actions of another person, you have the right to demand fair and just financial compensation. A New York paralysis lawyer can determine those liable and pursue damages on your behalf.
When you retain us to work for you, you will not be required to pay us any money upfront. At Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP Associates, we only collect a legal fee if you receive compensation. Call us now for a free case evaluation.
