Kankakee No-Zone Accidents Attorney
Despite years of research on increasing the safety of 18-wheelers and semi trucks on the road, truck designers have yet to completely rid a truck of dangerous blind spots. There are four main areas around 18-wheelers that are still difficult or impossible to see. These are known as “no-zones.” Collisions between trucks and cars in the “no-zone” are fairly common, and they may be the fault of a negligent truck driver.
If you or a loved one has experienced an accident with a truck while in a no-zone, you may not be responsible for this collision. For more information regarding your case, contact the experienced Kankakee no-zone accident lawyers of Spiros Law, P.C., today at (815) 929-9292 to learn more about your rights.
Commercial Truck No-Zone Areas
In order to avoid truck accidents, always pass the truck on the left-hand side. Follow the truck at a safe distance and use your turn signal to let the driver know where you plan to go. Lastly, avoid the no-zones. There are four different areas around an 18-wheeler or semi truck that are blocked from the truck driver’s view. These no-zones include:
- The area right in front of the front bumper of the truck
- Directly behind the truck’s trailer
- A small area on the driver’s side of the cab
- A larger area on the passenger side of the cab
Unfortunately, not all no-zone truck accidents are preventable. Truck driver error may be the sole cause of an accident. If you have been injured due to the negligence of a truck driver, it is important to talk to an attorney immediately.
