Trucking Accidents
Oklahoma City Truck Accident Lawyer
The occupants of an automobile can suffer catastrophic injuries when the car is
involved in a semi-truck accident. Attorneys at the West Law Firm near Oklahoma City have helped many
victims recover the cost of medical expenses, car repairs, lost wages, and
disability following auto-truck collisions.
There may be several parties responsible for your losses, including the truck
driver, the trucking company, and your own auto insurance company. You may
already have been offered a settlement following a semi truck accident.
An attorney from our firm will evaluate the settlement offer at your free
consultation. Contact our Shawnee law office
today. We offer evening and weekend appointments.
Truck accidents may be caused by driver carelessness, driver fatigue (concealed
by an illegal log book), drunken driving or the use of illegal drugs. Drivers
are also responsible for securing the load, making sure the load is balanced,
and performing an equipment and safety check before each trip. If a semi-truck
wanders over into an adjacent lane and forces a car off the road, or is stopped
for repairs without adequate semaphores, highway traffic is at risk. Operating
an 18-Wheeler or other commercial vehicle is a great responsibility.
Trucking companies are responsible for carefully investigating the backgrounds
of drivers, providing special training when necessary, and encouraging drivers
to observe Oklahoma and federal laws and regulations. Too often, the pursuit of
profit overtakes a corporation’s good judgment, putting the public at risk.
If you have suffered injuries, damage to your vehicle, or the loss of a family
member through wrongful death in a truck wreck, a truck accident lawyer at our Oklahoma City
firm will reconstruct your accident, evaluate your injuries and other losses,
and handle insurance correspondence on your behalf, allowing you to focus on
healing.
