Champaign No-Zone Accident Lawyers

A driver enters into an area known as a no-zone when they pass into an area where the driver of an 18-wheeler cannot see their vehicle in the rear-view mirror. These no-zones are located in certain spots around a truck that the side-mounted mirrors do not reveal. As a result, these areas should be considered extremely dangerous for motorists as truck drivers may not notice them.

The fact that an accident occurred while you were in a no-zone does not excuse the truck driver from responsibility for the crash. It can, however, make your case more difficult to prove. For legal advice and representation, contact the Champaign no-zone accident attorneys of Spiros Law, P.C., at 217-328-2828.

Where Are No-Zones Located?

A truck driver should always do their best to check these blind spots before making any sort of lane change. Failure to check these spots regularly can lead to a serious accident if a truck driver decides they want to move over to another lane without checking their rear-view mirrors. Even though these truck drivers cannot see in these areas, they should be able to notice a car entering or exiting a no-zone. The following areas of a truck are considered no-zones:

• Directly in front of a truck
• A wide area on the right side of a truck
• A small area on the left side of a truck
• A significant portion behind the truck

When approaching these areas, a driver should be especially careful, as a truck driver cannot see anyone lingering there.
