Orlando No-Zone Accident Lawyer

Every large vehicle has no-zones, also known as the driver’s blind spots. These are areas around the vehicle where the driver’s ability to see is very limited. A motorcycle or smaller car can easily fall into a large truck’s no-zones, therefore becoming effectively invisible to the driver. Anyone who may share the road with a truck at one point (in other words, all drivers and bikers) needs to be aware of no-zones.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a no-zone truck accident, you need to be fully informed about your rights and responsibilities. Orlando no-zone accident lawyer Todd Miner can help you determine the best legal option for your situation. Call our offices at 407-420-4040.

Preventing No-Zone Accidents

The first step to avoiding a truck’s no-zones is to know where they are. There is a no-zone at the front and rear of the truck, as well as both sides. To protect yourself from the injuries that can be caused by a no-zone truck accident, be sure to keep these tips in mind when driving near a truck:

• When you are beside a commercial truck, stay close to the cab. A good rule of thumb is that if you can see the driver’s face in the side mirror, he or she can see you. Otherwise, you may be invisible to him or her.
• If you need to pass a truck, wait until you have the space to pull very far ahead of it. Do not pass a truck unless you can see it fully in your rearview mirror.
• Place adequate space between your car and a semi-truck when it is ahead of you: at least the length of one car. If a truck backs up or brakes suddenly, the driver will likely not know that you are behind him or her.

If you have been injured while driving in a truck’s no-zone, it can negatively impact the amount of compensation you may win. An Orlando no-zone truck accident attorney can advise you about your best legal options.
