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.
