Homestead Squeeze Play / Wide Turns

Tractor-trailers make wide turns, and this can lead to unfortunate situations in which a car is crushed or trapped between the truck and the curb as the truck swings wide to complete the turn. Unfortunately, this type of squeeze play accident can result in catastrophic injuries, since the car is likely to be crushed or even partly sheared with the force of impact.

In many cases, wide turn accidents are completely preventable. If you have been injured in this type of truck accident in Homestead or your community, consider contacting Flaxman Law Group for a free, no obligation case evaluation. You may have more legal options than you realize and your case may be worth more than your insurance company is offering you as part of your claim. Get the facts before you make any decisions in your case.

Squeeze Play Accidents Often Leads To Tragedy

Unfortunately, wide turn accidents involving commercial trucks and big rigs often lead to tragic injuries. There are many things that can go wrong that can lead to severe injury in this type of accident:

  • The car and its passengers may be completely crushed by the force of the truck
  • The car may be forced to the curb or into a building, causing crushing of the car and its passengers
  • The force of impact itself can be substantial and can lead to serious injuries for passengers – especially if the turn involves speed
  • The top of the car may be sheared off by the force of the truck
  • The accident may turn into an underride accident, where the car is forced partially under the truck by the impact

These types of accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries, including:

  • Head injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Internal injuries
  • Fractures
  • Facial injuries
  • Disfigurement
  • Fractures
  • Paralysis
  • Amputation
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries and back injuries
It’s Your Future – Protect Your Rights

If you have been injured in this type of accident, it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney. Even if you have very good car accident coverage, keep in mind that the injuries sustained in this type of accident are likely to be permanent or to result in long-term medical costs and lost wages.

Most car insurance companies are not eager to pay for the full cost of these types of injuries and may offer you a low amount that does not cover the full cost of the damages. This means that you will have to make up for the difference between your insurance amount and the amount of your injuries unless you seek fair compensation from the start.

Anytime you are in an accident or sustain a serious injury, it is in your best interests to seek legal advice from a personal injury attorney. If you have been in a truck accident, chances are generally good that you may have a legal claim or you may be able to negotiate your insurance company’s offer to secure fairer compensation.
