Truck Wreck

Truck wrecks can cause devastating injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, making it crucial to seek legal representation to pursue fair compensation for your losses.

Seeking Justice After a Devastating Accident

Truck accidents can have catastrophic consequences, leading to severe injuries, financial hardship, and emotional distress. Due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks, collisions with passenger vehicles often result in life-altering injuries or fatalities. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck wreck in Southeastern Oklahoma, including Hochatown and the Choctaw Nation, you need an experienced attorney to fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.



Common Causes of Truck Wrecks

Truck accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, often due to negligence on the part of the truck driver, trucking company, or other involved parties. Some of the most common causes include:


  • Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers often work long hours, leading to exhaustion and impaired judgment.
  • Distracted Driving: Using a phone, adjusting GPS, or eating while driving can lead to devastating crashes.
  • Speeding and Reckless Driving: Large trucks require more time to stop, and excessive speed increases the likelihood of a severe accident.
  • Improperly Loaded Cargo: Overloaded or unbalanced cargo can cause a truck to tip over or become difficult to control.
  • Mechanical Failures: Poor maintenance, faulty brakes, and tire blowouts can all contribute to serious accidents.
  • Poor Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and icy roads make it harder for large trucks to stop or maneuver safely.


If a truck wreck was caused by negligence, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and damages.

Common Injuries from Truck Accidents

Truck wrecks often lead to more severe injuries than standard car accidents. Common injuries include:



  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
  • Broken Bones and Fractures
  • Severe Burns and Lacerations
  • Internal Organ Damage
  • Wrongful Death Cases


These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care, making financial recovery essential for accident victims.


Who is Liable in a Truck Wreck?

Determining liability in a truck accident can be complex because multiple parties may be responsible, including:



  • Truck Drivers: If the driver was fatigued, distracted, or violating traffic laws.
  • Trucking Companies: If they failed to train drivers properly or enforced unsafe driving practices.
  • Maintenance Companies: If poor maintenance or defective parts contributed to the accident.
  • Cargo Loaders: If improperly loaded cargo caused instability leading to a crash.
  • Manufacturers: If faulty truck parts or defective equipment played a role in the accident.


Our firm thoroughly investigates every truck wreck case to determine liability and hold the responsible parties accountable.


Compensation Available for Truck Wreck Victims

Truck accident victims may be entitled to significant compensation, including:



  • Medical Expenses: Coverage for emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical treatment.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time away from work and potential loss of future earnings.
  • Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
  • Property Damage: Coverage for vehicle repairs or replacement.
  • Wrongful Death Claims: If you lost a loved one in a truck wreck, you may be eligible for compensation for funeral costs and loss of companionship.
