Truck Accident Victims Need Expert Representation

Truck accidents are not like other kinds of motor vehicle crashes. Here are a few ways that the deck is stacked against trucking accident victims: 

  • Multiple parties can be at fault including truck drivers, trucking companies, mechanics, equipment manufacturers, and cargo loaders. 
  • Identifying negligent parties can be time-consuming, complicated, and expensive. But if you don’t investigate correctly, you may not be able to prove your case and can end up walking away with little or nothing. 
  • Trucking companies and their insurers have deep pockets and aggressively fight liability claims. Their goal is to pay you as little as possible. They have high-powered legal teams and their own paid experts to tell juries that your injuries aren’t really that bad or that the crash wasn’t really the truck driver’s fault. 

The best way to protect your legal rights is by hiring an experienced truck accident attorney who understands complex state and federal trucking laws, knows how to conduct a detailed investigation, and protects key evidence before the trucking company can destroy it.

Do I Have a Truck Accident Case? 

If you were injured through the carelessness of a truck driver, trucking company, or other involved party, you may be entitled to compensation.  

Our Oklahoma truck accident lawyers can review your case with you in detail to help you determine whether you have a case worth pursuing. Here are some general factors to consider: 

Was Negligence Shown?

Negligence is a critical factor in a truck accident injury case. In law, negligence is a failure to use appropriate or reasonable care in a situation.  

For a truck driver or associated parties, negligence may mean driving while fatigued, failing to maintain the truck’s components, or failing to follow the rules of the road. If you believe the accident you were injured in was not your fault, you likely have a truck accident case worth hiring an attorney for and pursuing. 

Did I Suffer Damages?

You must have suffered damages to file a legitimate claim. 

Damages include direct financial costs that were caused by the crash, such as hospital bills, medications, and lost wages. Damages can also include non-economic pain and suffering that directly or indirectly result from your physical injuries. Physical pain, emotional trauma, or loss of quality of life are examples of non-economic damages. 

Are I Within the Legal Time Limit?

In most cases, you usually have two years from the date of the accident to file a truck accident lawsuit. 

However, waiting too long to take action can seriously damage your case. Critical evidence, such as truck driver workbooks and logs, dashboard camera footage, and damaged vehicle parts could be lost or destroyed long before the two-year statute of limitations is up. 

Seek the help of an experienced Oklahoma truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to have the best chances of success.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I’m involved in a truck accident?

Follow these steps after a truck accident to help protect your health and strengthen your claim:

Get medical attention.

See a doctor as soon as you can after your accident. Your doctor can begin to treat your injuries and records from the visit can serve as important evidence linking your injuries to your accident.

Collect evidence.

If you’re able, get the names of witnesses from the scene and take photographs of the vehicles involved, the accident location, and any injuries sustained by you or your passengers.

Keep records.

Save copies of any receipts related to your accident, including payments to health care providers, auto body shops, and even transportation costs related to your treatment. These records can be factored into your claim during settlement negotiations.

Call The Wolf Pack™.

Our truck accident attorneys have the experience and resources to gather evidence pertaining to your accident, consult the necessary experts, file a strong claim on your behalf, and fight to hold the trucking company accountable for your injuries. You can contact us 24/7 at 405-259-4366 or complete our free online form to schedule a consultation.

Do I really need to see a doctor?

Yes. See a doctor as soon as possible if you’re experiencing any discomfort whatsoever.

One, serious internal injuries can take days or weeks to develop noticeable symptoms. A doctor can examine your condition and provide you with the appropriate treatment to help make sure any injuries you’ve suffered don’t get worse.

Two, if you delay seeing a doctor, most insurance companies will use it against you in negotiations. They may say that you must not have been hurt that badly. Seeing a doctor right away, building the necessary medical records, and following your treatment plan helps protect you from this common insurance company tactic.

How soon after my accident should I get a lawyer?

You should get a lawyer as soon as you get the medical attention you need for your injuries. Your lawyer will need time to gather evidence and determine the value of your claim before negotiating with the insurance company. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to collect evidence and prove who was responsible for your accident.

What should I do if the insurance company calls me?

Don’t speak to insurance adjusters — even if they’re from your insurer — without discussing your claim with an attorney first. Insurance companies are corporations that increase their profits by offering injury victims lowball settlement offers. Anything you say to an insurance adjuster may be used to try to reduce the value of your claim, and any documents you sign may take away your rights to file a claim.

How much time do I have to file a claim?

The Oklahoma statute of limitations—or the deadline to file a lawsuit—requires you to file a truck accident claim within a specific period after your accident. How long you have to file your claim depends on a number of factors, so contact us as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss the deadline to file your claim.

It takes time to build a strong truck accident claim, so don’t wait to get the legal representation you need. Contact the Oklahoma City truck accident lawyers at Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys today.

Who is responsible for my truck accident?

Truck accident claims often involve multiple parties who may share fault. Most commonly:

  • The truck driver is responsible for errors they make when driving (such as running a red light, speeding, etc.)
  • The trucking company is responsible for the conduct of the drivers they employ. They may also have engaged in negligent hiring practices, encouraged drivers to violate rules about rest brakes, etc.

However, other parties may share responsibility as well. For example, you might have a case against:

  • The truck owner (if it isn’t owned by the driver or the trucking company)
  • An equipment manufacturer which produced faulty truck parts or safety equipment
  • A mechanic that performed shoddy repair work
  • An individual who loaded the truck’s cargo in an unsafe manner
  • A bar or restaurant that knowingly overserved a truck driver.

When our Oklahoma City truck accident attorneys investigate an accident involving a commercial vehicle, we will work hard to identify all potentially responsible parties.

Why does it matter? Because any party that is at least partially at fault can be held responsible to pay your damages. This increases the amount of insurance coverage and assets available to pay your claim.

What is my case worth?

Every accident case is unique, so we can’t estimate the settlement your case may reach without our team discussing your case with you. In most cases, however, you may be eligible for compensation to cover both economic and non-economic losses you’ve experienced as part of the crash.

This includes:

  • Past and future medical bills, such as doctor visits, surgeries, medications, etc.
  • Past and future lost wages, including any work you’ve missed, or career changes you’ve had to make due to disability.
  • Fair monetary compensation for physical pain and suffering you’ve experienced.
  • Other non-economic losses that affect your quality of life, such as emotional trauma, disfigurement, or even loss of relationship and comfort with a loved one.

What will a truck accident attorney cost?

Trustworthy Oklahoma truck accident lawyers should have no upfront fees and not ask for any money unless they win your case. The Wolf Pack™ works on a contingency basis, meaning our legal fees are paid as a percentage of what we win on your behalf—and if we don’t win for you, you won’t owe us a dime. You deserve your best chance at compensation and The Wolf Pack™ is ready to fight for your rights, today!

Will I have to go to court?

Possibly, but most truck accident cases don’t go to court. Insurance companies often avoid going to court because it’s expensive and risky. Most truck accident cases are resolved through a process of negotiation (which can continue even after a lawsuit is filed) in an agreed upon, fair settlement. If, however, we do have to go to court, know that The Wolf Pack™ will represent you and fight aggressively on your behalf every step of the way.
