Trucking Blind Spots & Truck Accidents in California

At one time or another, every driver will have to share the road with a large truck (i.e. tractor-trailer, eighteen-wheeler, a big rig, etc.)  These trucks often take up a large amount of space on roadways and combined with their size and weight, a collision with these trucks can often result in serious injury and sometimes even death.  It is important that individuals and their families who are involved in trucking accidents consult with an experienced Sacramento truck accident lawyer as soon as possible.  There are time limits to being able to file a claim. 

The Department of Transportation reports that 35% of truck accidents that involve other motor vehicles occur in the “trucking blind spots.”  These “no zone” areas are in the rear of the truck, the front of the truck, and almost the entire right side of the truck.  It is important that drivers are aware of these trucking blind spots in order to avoid collisions.  Generally, if a driver is unable to see the truck driver in his or her mirror, the truck driver most likely is unable to see the driver.  In addition, unlike other vehicles, truck drivers are unable to see other vehicles that are directly behind them.
