No-Zone Truck Accidents

Commercial trucks are a fixture of contemporary American roadways. Unfortunately, their size, weight, and design serve to create a number of hazards for other motorists. One such danger is the inability of a truck driver to see vehicles in certain areas to the side and rear of the truck. These have come to be called “no-zones”, and there may be some ambiguity about who bears responsibility for a crash that occurs while a vehicle is in a no-zone.

If you have been in an accident with a truck while driving in the truck’s no-zone, it can be invaluable to have a legal representative working on your behalf to establish that the truck driver bears responsibility for the collision.

No-Zone Areas

Truck drivers are aware that their vehicles create large blind spots and as such, must take special care to remain aware of vehicles passing in and out of these blind spots. The typical no-zones on 18 wheelers include:

• A large area behind the truck
• A small area next to the driver’s side, behind the seat
• A small area directly in front of the truck, particularly if the vehicle is small
• A large section next to the passenger’s side, behind the seat

When truck drivers are cautious about these areas, they are able to avoid merging into vehicles next to them, cutting vehicles off, and clipping vehicles in front of them.
