Truck Accidents
Injured in a Truck Accident in Oklahoma? We’re Here to Help
Getting hurt in a crash with a semi-truck or commercial vehicle can turn your life upside down. These accidents are often serious and leave people with painful injuries, expensive medical bills, and a lot of uncertainty. If you or someone you care about has been injured in a truck accident, you need someone on your side who knows how to handle these cases and fight for what you deserve.
At Brian Williams Law, we know how overwhelming this situation can be. Our team is here to guide you, handle the legal work, and help you recover the compensation you need to move forward.
Let Us Deal With the Insurance Company
Insurance companies are focused on one thing: protecting their profits. After a truck accident, they may call you quickly and try to get you to say something that hurts your case. They might offer a settlement that sounds good but falls far short of what you actually need. They may even send investigators to watch you, hoping to find a reason to deny your claim.
You do not have to deal with any of that. When you hire us, we speak to the insurance company for you. We know how to push back when they try to avoid responsibility and how to protect your right to fair compensation. Whether the trucking company or their insurer is involved, we are ready to stand up for you.
Who Is Responsible After a Truck Accident?
Truck accident cases are more complicated than a typical car crash. It is not always just the driver who is responsible. Sometimes the trucking company is to blame. In some cases, the company that loaded the truck or serviced it might be at fault. These cases often involve multiple parties and a lot of moving parts.
Here are a few common causes of truck accidents and who might be held legally responsible:
Driver fatigue
Truck drivers are required by law to take rest breaks. If a company pushes its drivers to stay on the road too long or falsifies records, they could be held accountable.
Speeding
Truck drivers are expected to operate their vehicles safely. Driving too fast makes it harder to stop and increases the chance of a serious crash.
Falsifying logs
Trucking companies must keep accurate records. If they tamper with logs or destroy important paperwork, that can make them responsible for the accident.
Improperly loaded cargo
When cargo is overloaded or unevenly packed, it can make the truck unstable. If this causes a crash, the company that loaded the truck may be to blame.
Poor vehicle maintenance
Trucks require regular inspections and repairs. If a company skips maintenance or ignores mechanical issues, they can be held liable for the results.
Hazardous weather
Drivers should be trained to handle rain, fog, snow, and other dangerous conditions. Failing to adjust for weather can still count as negligence.
If you are not sure what caused the accident, that is okay. We will investigate your case, gather the evidence, and figure out who should be held responsible.
What Kind of Compensation Can You Recover?
Truck accidents can cause long-term injuries, emotional trauma, and serious financial challenges. In the most tragic cases, they result in death. If you lost a loved one, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. If you were injured, we will help you recover the money you need for your recovery.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
-
Medical bills and future medical care
-
Lost wages and reduced earning ability
-
Vehicle repairs or replacement
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional distress
-
Loss of enjoyment of life
In Oklahoma, there is no cap on pain and suffering in truck accident cases. If your injuries are long-lasting or life-changing, this could be a major part of your claim. Our job is to help you understand what your case is worth and fight to recover every dollar.
