How to Avoid Blind Spots & Blind Spot Accidents

Every day, drivers find themselves in dangerous situations simply because they can’t see what’s beside them. Blind spots are areas around a vehicle that are invisible to the driver without properly positioned mirrors, and they exist in nearly every type of vehicle—cars, trucks, boats, and even aircraft. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that nearly 840,000 blind spot accidents happen each year, resulting in 300 tragic fatalities.

But beyond the physical risks, these accidents carry serious legal and financial consequences. If you’ve been involved in a blind spot accident, you need someone who understands the legal landscape and can advocate for your rights. That’s where Herrman and Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers come in.
