Driving is part of everyday life in Oklahoma. With extensive highway systems connecting cities across the state, large truck traffic is a constant presence on our roads.
Semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and 18-wheelers play a critical role in our economy, but they also present serious risks. These vehicles can weigh 20 to 30 times more than a standard passenger car, making accidents especially dangerous. In fact, in crashes involving a passenger vehicle and a large truck, the vast majority of fatalities are occupants of the passenger vehicle.
Though not all truck accidents are fatal, they often have serious consequences for the injured.
There are several reasons as to why such accidents can occur, including:
Even the most seemingly minor driving errors, such as failing to signal before passing or not accelerating sufficiently, can result in a catastrophic accident.

When you choose to work with a qualified attorney on your case and it’s determined that you have legal grounds for a claim to compensation, there are different types of compensation that you could be eligible to receive. It will all depend on the circumstances surrounding your accident and the extent of your injuries. These include:
Economic Damages – Items that can be assigned an actual dollar amount, such as medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and cost for ongoing rehabilitative services.
Non-Economic Damages – Intangible elements, such as future lost earnings, pain and suffering, or the costs of recovering from distress with grief or emotional counseling.
Punitive Damages – In rarer cases, punitive damages may be awarded if it can be proven that the at-fault driver knowingly ignored safety laws or displayed malicious, dangerous driving that resulted in the accident.
