Hollywood Utility Bucket Truck Accidents

Published on: April 26, 2024 | By Flaxman Law Group

Utility workers rely on bucket trucks to access overhead wires and workplaces. As the name implies, this truck has a container or bucket where workers can climb in with their tools and equipment so they can be lifted up to an otherwise inaccessible area.

Hollywood Cement Truck Accidents

Published on: March 29, 2024 | By Flaxman Law Group

Cement trucks are essential for construction and road work projects, but there’s a lot of pressure on these vehicles. Drivers of cement trucks usually have to get to their destinations quickly, because there are crews waiting for them. Cement is also very heavy, with fully loaded trucks weighing in at 33 tons, on average. That’s a lot of potential force if these vehicles are in a collision.

Jackknife Truck Accidents in Hollywood

Published on: February 29, 2024 | By Flaxman Law Group

Semis and big rigs are commercial vehicles that consist of a trailer and cab that are usually joined by a fifth wheel or coupler. The cab and trailer (or multiple trailers) can move independently of each other and in an accident they can move in opposite directions, coming to rest in a position that resembles a jackknife, which is how these collisions got their name.

If you’re in a serious crash with a commercial truck, it’s likely that your injuries will be serious and the insurance claims process can be more complicated. To address this, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation with a Hollywood truck accident claims attorney. Let’s talk about your potential claim and how we may be able to help.
