Dealing with a Permanent Injury After a Truck Crash

Published on: September 4, 2015 | By Flaxman Law Group

Truck accidents in Hollywood and other South Florida communities often lead to devastating injuries. A smaller car has little chance against a tanker, big rig, or other commercial truck loaded down with heavy cargo. In some unfortunate cases, passengers in the smaller vehicle walk away not only with serious injuries, but also with injuries that will change their lives forever.

Permanent injuries such as amputations, head trauma, paralysis, spinal cord injuries, and others are considered permanent because they will affect a patient’s life long term. While some improvement is possible, the patient is not expected to regain the full mobility, cognitive ability, or other abilities they had before the injury.

Dealing With Broken Bones and Fractures after a Trucking Collision

Published on: August 21, 2015 | By Flaxman Law Group

Fractures and broken bones are very common injuries after trucking crashes in Hollywood and South Florida. The force of being hit by a much larger vehicle may cause you to crash against the dashboard or other hard surfaces in the car, which can lead to broken bones. Unfortunately, while many insurance companies dismiss these injuries are relatively minor, fractures can be a serious injury that can be very painful and can take a long time to heal.

The only way to determine whether you have a broken bone is to get a proper medical evaluation. Potential fractures should be treated as a medical emergency. If you heard a snap during the crash or if the impacted area is very painful to move or looks crooked, you may have a broken bone. If the affected bone is in the spinal, neck, or head area, avoid moving the patient. Call 911 and get help.
