Blind Spot Truck Accident Lawyer
Commercial trucks are large and have multiple, large blind spots, or no-zones, that can easily put other drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists at risk for accidents, damaged property, severe injuries, and even wrongful death.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected, and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.
Truck Blind Spots
Truck blind spots are areas of the truck the driver cannot see with their mirrors. Every vehicle will have blind spots, but commercial trucks have multiple blind spots because of their size and length.
Blind spots on commercial trucks are located just in front of the cab, just below and behind the driver-side window, on the right side of the cab extending to the back of the trailer, and right behind the trailer.
Because the truck driver will not be able to see a vehicle directly behind the trailer, tailgating can be extremely dangerous and should be avoided. If driving beside the truck, it is important to stay near the trucks side mirrors and avoid the no-zones on the side of the truck. If a truck driver cannot see your vehicle, it is possible they could change lanes or turn, causing a side-swipe accident.
Blind Spot Truck Accident Liability
Many truck accidents are due to driver error. While nobody is perfect behind the wheel, truck drivers are tasked with operating their commercial trucks safely and they are required to be properly trained to avoid injuring others. If a truck driver does not receive the proper training needed to safely maneuver their vehicle, the trucking company who employs them could also be deemed liable for your damages and injuries in a third-party claim.
In order to receive compensation for your injuries, you must prove four factors occurred, which include:
- Duty-The truck driver has a duty to responsibly drive within legal limits.
- Breach of duty-When a driver acts irresponsibly, they put others at risk and breach their duty.
- Causation-The actions of the truck driver caused the accident.
- Damages-The truck driver and their actions caused your accident and damages and injuries.
Determining all the parties liable for your truck accident can be difficult. An experienced personal injury lawyer can review your case and fight for the compensation you are entitled to from every party that may be involved.
