No-Zone Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks are a vital part of transporting goods from warehouses to stores and crops and livestock from fields and ranches to market. Conspicuously placed on the back of many of these vehicles you may have noticed signs that warn you will not be visible to the driver if you occupy a certain space or can’t see his or her mirrors. Those areas are referred to as “no-zones”, and public awareness campaigns have been created to advise the public about the dangers of driving in the no-zone.
Contrary to a trucking company’s assertions, however, being struck while in the no-zone does not absolve the truck driver of responsibility for the effects of an accident. If you have been involved in such an accident, an experienced attorney can help you build a persuasive case.

No-Zone Factors to Consider
Despite the presence of warnings, there are not explicit laws pertaining to liability in no-zone accidents that occur in the state of Arizona. It is certainly in your best interest to limit the amount of time that you are driving in areas of limited or non-visibility because the majority of truck on car collisions occur in that window of time and space. Some factors that may weigh in your favor as you pursue a legal action stemming from your no-zone truck accident are:
- Incautious Lane Changes (by the trucker)
- Inconsistency of Speed
- Whether You Were in the No-Zone At All
