Truck Hitting Cyclist Accident Lawyer

Because of their size, commercial trucks are a very real hazard for cyclists, especially at city intersections. Cyclists are more difficult to see, and a bicycle is no match for a truck that can weigh upwards of 80,000 pounds and when these large trucks hit a cyclist, the results are often devastating.

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 Visibility Issues

Commercial trucks have numerous, large blind spots, putting other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists at risk for being involved in an accident. Because cyclists are even smaller than a passenger vehicle, these blind spots are even larger, especially when a cyclist is riding directly besides, in front of, or behind the truck, and when the truck is turning.

Risks Posed to Cyclists

Intersections are one of the most dangerous places for a cyclist, especially when large trucks are involved. A truck driver attempting to make a right turn will not be able to see someone on a bicycle that may be trying to cross in the intersection.

Commercial trucks also have a large turning radius. If the cyclist is not in the direct line of the truck as it turns, because of the size and area needed to complete a turn, they may find themselves quickly facing part of the truck which can cause serious injuries and even death.

Another risk for cyclists is when a truck is backing up. Commercial trucks have numerous mirrors and often have back up assistance devices. Even with these safety measures in place, a truck driver may not be able to see a cyclist located behind them.

If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident, it is important to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Truck accidents often involve multiple parties that may be liable for your damages and injuries and a personal injury lawyer can wade through the complexities involved in a trucking accident to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
