That means it hits with 20 times the force of a 4,000-pound passenger vehicle traveling at the same speed. Even a collision at relatively low speeds is enough to cause immense damage to whatever it hits.  Many trucks also carry hazardous cargo, which could catch fire in a wreck. In other cases, a truck\u2019s cargo can spill across the roadway, setting off subsequent accidents with drivers unable to avoid the wreckage.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/lagrange\/truck-accidents\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"The term \u201cNo Zone\u201d refers to the large blind spots around commercial trucks and semi-trailers. Trucks have much larger blind spots. But unlike drivers in a car or SUV, their operators cannot look behind them out the back window or windshield. Trucks do have large mirrors, and many add smaller focused mirrors to reduce the size of the blind spot. However, there are still dangerous areas where the driver simply cannot see your vehicle. If a trucker does not take these \u201cno zones\u201d into account before changing lanes or backing up, they can be liable for a subsequent accident.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/lagrange\/truck-accidents\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"Per Georgia law, you have two years from the date of a truck accident to file suit.
