Blind spot accidents can happen when the driver of a passenger vehicle or big truck fails to see the vehicle on either side or behind them and crashes into that vehicle. Blind spot accidents are especially common in big truck accidents because these vehicles have much larger blind spot areas.

What is a Blind Spot Accident?
Blind spots refer to the areas around a vehicle where the driver cannot see in their mirrors or otherwise without turning their heads. If another vehicle or pedestrian is in a blind spot area, they are invisible to the driver. When a driver operating a vehicle with blind spots comes into contact with another vehicle or person in the blind spot area, it is considered a blind spot accident.
Who Is Liable In a Blind Spot Accident?
When an accident occurs because one driver cannot see the other and crashes into them, the driver who could not see and who initiated contact with the other vehicle is at fault.
Other potentially liable parties, in addition to the driver, include the truck or vehicle owner, the company the driver works for, and possibly others. Our accident attorneys in Baton Rouge carefully investigate every accident to determine all possible causes and potentially liable parties.Â
We also take fast action to identify, collect, and preserve all evidence to prove causation and liability and to build your strongest case.
What Type of Damages Can I Recover in a Blind Spot Accident Claim?
In a successful blind spot accident claim, you may be able to recover economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Current and future lost wages
- Property damages
- Other expenses incurred because of the accident

If the intoxication of a driver caused your injuries, you may also be able to recover punitive damages.
