Las Vegas No-Zone Accident Lawyers

Because they are seated so high above the rest of traffic, truck drivers have a very limited ability to see the cars around them. Studies have identified certain blind spots, or no-zones, for a driver of the average 18-wheeler. When you are in a truck's no-zone, there is a good chance that the driver cannot see you.

Las Vegas no-zone semi accident attorneys William Palmer & Associates, P.C., are ready to help you win compensation for your injuries. If you have been injured by a negligent truck driver, there is no reason you should have to cover the related expenses alone. To learn more, call our offices at 702-888-2222.

Where are the No-Zones?

All vehicles have blind spots, but an 18-wheeler's are much larger than usual. If you are driving near a commercial truck, be very careful about the no-zones. They are located at:

• Either side. A truck's side mirrors are not always sufficient to help the driver see everything near him or her. If you are near the side of a truck, look for the driver's face in the side mirror. If you can see him or her, you are probably visible to him or her.
• The rear. A semi driver generally cannot see anyone who is less than 200 feet behind the truck. Be sure to give all trucks ahead of you plenty of room, and be very cautious around any truck that may soon be backing up.
• The front. Driving in front of a truck is especially dangerous for people on motorcycles or in small cars. Do not pass in front of a truck without giving it lots of room.
