PREVENTING TRUCK ACCIDENTS - Ron Sholes, P.A.
Commercial trucks have large blind spots or “no-zones” surrounding them. These areas are places where the truck driver can’t see cars, no matter how they try to look for them. For smaller vehicles to help prevent truck accidents, they need to stay out of these blind spots. This means avoiding staying directly beside or behind a truck, especially for long periods, as this can cause the truck driver to miss them in their mirrors.

WHIPLASH INJURY ATTORNEYS - Ron Sholes, P.A.
Chronic whiplash pain is a result of ligament and soft-tissue injury due to rapid compression and shearing of the facet joints, typically seen in rear-end vehicle collisions.
