As we approach the holiday season, we have even more reason to spend time shopping online. It’s convenient, it’s easy, and the packages show up in less than 48 hours. What times we live in!

But this speed and convenience come at a cost. Many delivery drivers are forced to work long hours to make sure you get your package. These extended hours behind the wheel can be dangerous.

Drowsy Driving is Dangerous

Delivery drivers are pushed to deliver every package before going home. Many drivers have reported not being able to stop for lunch or bathroom breaks. Drivers are required to deliver over 200 packages per day, often resulting in drivers working well into the late-night hours to make sure all deliveries are made.

This rush creates a situation where drivers become drowsy. 

Drowsy drivers are more prone to get into a car accident than a driver who hasn’t spent the whole day behind the wheel.

This behavior can kill. Literally. Commercial truck drivers are required to stop driving after ten hours behind the wheel. Some delivery drivers are employed by third parties with less regulation, and most companies expect workers to do nonstop overtime during the holidays. These companies often force whatever hours necessary to deliver every package, often more than ten hours each day.

As a result, delivery drivers are often speeding and zipping around town. This behavior may result in severe accidents, involving not only liability on the driver but possibly on the employer as well.

If a delivery driver injured you or a loved one, you deserve the compensation you need to get better. Your best chance of maximizing your recovery is to speak with a seasoned and trusted Los Angeles car accident lawyer.
