DRIVING WHILE FATIGUED RISK GROUPSPeople who are at risk for driving while fatigued are commercial drivers who drive 18 wheelers or other commercial vehicles, people who work long or late shifts, people with sleep disorders like narcolepsy or sleep apnea, people who take prescriptions that make them drowsy, and alcohol. Warning signs that someone is fatigued are yawning or blinking often, missing turns, weaving in your lane, and going onto the side of the highway, and hitting the rumble strip.
LIABILITY FOR DRIVING WHILE FATIGUEDPeople who drive have a duty of care when they drive. If they are driving while fatigued they are more likely to violate their duty to follow the rules of the road and more likely to cause car wrecks. Investigations into collisions can uncover evidence that shows whether a driver was driving while fatigued. If a driver causes a car accident injury due to driving while fatigued they are responsible for any damage they have caused.

Car accident victims may experience delayed symptoms at times, which is why you should never delay seeking medical attention. Concussion symptoms, for example, often take longer to manifest and may not be apparent immediately following a crash, especially with all of the adrenaline coursing through your system. It is critical that you see a medical professional as soon as possible after being involved in a collision to prevent any injuries from worsening.
