Driver Fatigue, Driving Safety, and Forensic Human Factors Analysis for Accident Reconstruction 

Driver fatigue is a significant cause of traffic accidents. In truck and bus accident litigation, claims based on driver fatigue are being made in increasing numbers. Defense and plaintiff's attorneys who deal with fatigue claims should consult a forensic driver fatigue expert. The forensic expert should be competent in:

the nature and relative importance of the various causes of driver fatigue, and the specific effects of fatigue on driver performance;
the human factors engineering and scientific aspects of driving safety, including driver skill and knowledge requirements for the various classes of vehicles, the basis of the Commercial Driver License (CDL) system, and the safety responsibilities of truck and bus drivers and motor carriers;
forensic human factors analysis for accident reconstruction.
