Truck Blind Spots Are a Danger Zone
The number of semis on our roadways is growing, and these immense vehicles are responsible for some of the deadliest accidents out there. Truck drivers are responsible for navigating their rigs safely through traffic, including when they are changing lanes or leaving their lane of traffic, and when they fail to take their blind spots into careful consideration, it puts others on the road at a distinct safety disadvantage. If a truck driver’s negligence leaves you injured in a car accident, an experienced Beverly Hills truck accident attorney can help.
Blind Spots
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that semi drivers experience huge blind spots that radiate out from their cabs on both sides and that also extend from their cabs’ fronts and rears. When a truck driver pulls in too close to a forward or rear vehicle, there is a real risk that the trucker will lose sight of that vehicle. Further, when truckers do leave their lanes, failing to carefully check their blind spots to the sides, which can extend two lanes over on a driver’s right, can prove deadly.
Truck Accidents and Your Losses
The losses associated with truck accidents tend to be extensive and can include all the following:
- Property damage to your vehicle
- Medical bills that may need to address ongoing healthcare concerns
- Lost earnings that may extend to lost earning potential
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering that can complicate your overall recovery
