BLIND SPOT TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEY IN WILL & KANE COUNTY, IL

Since trucks are much larger than other types of vehicles, there are many more blind spots that drivers need to be aware of. The main blind spots for trucks are:


  • On the right side of the truck
  • Behind the driver and the storage area of the truck
  • In front of the truck’s cab
  • Behind the driver’s window


Since there are so many dangerous blind spots, truck drivers need to utilize the utmost caution in order to reduce the risks that come with having so many blind spots. Truck drivers should change lanes only when necessary and should be very careful when doing so. Truck drivers must also use all of their mirrors in order to have the most visibility of the other vehicles on the road. 

Other cars on the road must also exercise caution when driving near large trucks and should make sure they are giving the truck driver enough space. It is entirely possible that a jury could find the car driver at fault for an accident involving a truck if the driver of the car did not give the truck sufficient space. 



Truck drivers can also be held responsible for trucking accidents. There are instances in which the truck driver was not properly trained by their employer or the truck driver may not be in possession of the license that is required to operate a truck in that particular state. These are some of the reasons that the truck driver could be held liable for the accident.
