No Zone Truck Accidents

Since commercial trucks are such large vehicles, truckers can often have difficulty seeing directly in front of, behind, and on either side of the truck. These areas of the truck are called the no zones, which are the equivalent of blind spots for passenger automobiles.

Some truck drivers do not check their mirrors when driving, which may cause them to collide with fellow motorists in their no zones. If this has happened to you, contact the Atlanta truck accident lawyers of Webb, Wade & Taylor, LLC, at 770-631-1811 to learn more about your legal rights.

The Dangers of No Zones

Every commercial truck has no zones, which is why trucks have many mirrors. These mirrors allow truckers to see in the areas directly to the sides of their trailers and often in the area directly in front of the truck. Truckers often cannot see the area directly behind their trailers.

When a trucker fails to check no zones and collides with another vehicle, the other vehicle may:

• Be totaled
• Roll over
• Leave the road
• Be forced into oncoming traffic

These accidents may inflict serious harm on the occupants of the affected vehicles. Some injuries suffered in these accidents may even be fatal.
