Austin No-Zone Truck Accident Attorneys
Every 18-wheeler truck has a certain area where the driver will not be able to see. These blind spots, collectively making up the no-zone, are found where rear-view mirrors do not provide sufficient visual coverage. As a result, a truck driver cannot see motorists lingering or passing in these areas. The truck driver may attempt to change lanes or may need to slow down quickly, but cannot account for smaller vehicles in these areas.
If you have been injured in a truck accident that occurred while you were in the no-zone, it can be challenging to demonstrate that the truck driver was negligent. A skilled and experienced attorney can help you to pursue financial compensation for medical bills and other damages. Contact the Austin no-zone truck accident attorneys of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., by calling 512-372-8100 today.
No-Zone Accidents
Truck drivers know about the dangers of blind spots, and should drive accordingly. A truck driver has a responsibility to notice vehicles coming into and exiting from the no-zones around the truck. Failure to take note of a passing vehicle moving through a blind spot can result in a catastrophic accident. The following are considered the major no-zones:
- A small area in front of the truck
- A sizeable area behind the truck
- A small area on the driver’s side
- A large area on the passenger’s side
If a truck driver does not mind these areas, the resulting accident can leave other motorists or cyclists severely injured.
