Cibolo Blind Spot Truck Accident Lawyer
Large commercial trucks have massive blind spots—or “no-zones”—that make it difficult for drivers to see nearby vehicles. When truck drivers fail to check these blind spots properly, devastating accidents can occur. If you or a loved one was injured in a collision caused by a truck’s blind spot, the Law Office of Israel Garcia is here to help. Our experienced Cibolo blind spot truck accident lawyer can help you recover the compensation you deserve and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Where Are a Truck’s Blind Spots?
Trucks have four main blind spots where other vehicles can disappear from view:
- Directly in front of the truck’s cab (due to its high position)
- Directly behind the trailer, where the driver has no rearview visibility
- Along the left side, particularly from the cab door to the midsection of the trailer
- Along the entire right side, which is often the largest blind spot
Despite knowing about these blind spots, many truck drivers fail to use extra caution before turning, merging, or changing lanes—putting nearby drivers at risk.
How Blind Spot Truck Accidents Happen
Blind spot crashes are often the result of driver error or negligence. Common causes include:
- Failure to check mirrors or blind spot cameras before merging
- Improper lane changes or unsafe merges
- Cutting off smaller vehicles when turning or changing lanes
- Driver distraction or fatigue reducing reaction time
- Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers not following safety protocols
Our Cibolo blind spot truck accident attorneys thoroughly investigate each crash to uncover what went wrong and who is at fault.
Common Injuries in Blind Spot Truck Accidents
Blind spot collisions often involve side-impact crashes, underride accidents, or multi-vehicle pileups, resulting in serious injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Fractures, crush injuries, and amputations
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Wrongful death in severe cases
We work with medical experts, economists, and life care planners to calculate the full value of your losses and fight for fair compensation.
Who Is Liable for a Blind Spot Truck Crash?
In many cases, the truck driver is directly responsible for the crash due to their failure to properly check blind spots. However, liability may also extend to:
- The trucking company, for improper driver training or inadequate safety policies
- Maintenance providers, if defective mirrors or cameras contributed to the accident
- Truck manufacturers, if blind spot technology malfunctioned
Our team pursues every available source of compensation to maximize your recovery.
