San Antonio Blind Spot Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents can cause serious injuries, and in some cases, may even be fatal. Accidents involving trucks pose a significant risk to other motorists due to the sheer size and weight of trucks.

Blind spot trucking accidents occur when a vehicle enters one of the areas around a truck where the driver’s view is obstructed, commonly known as a “blind spot.” Trucks have significantly larger blind spots compared to smaller vehicles due to their shape and size. The aftermath of a blind spot trucking accident in San Antonio can result in serious injury or death.
