Respected Trial Lawyers Maximizing Results In Trucking Accident Cases
It is no secret to residents of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area that this region is the site of a great deal of trucking every day. Interstates, state highways, city streets and loading docks are all scenes of much transport activity and, sometimes, accidents that injure and kill people. Finding negligence is essential to explain what led to an injury or fatality involving a truck. With this information, legal action can help injured people and surviving family members recover their rightful compensation.

Uncovering Evidence Of Negligence Leading To Truck Wrecks
Federal and state laws and regulations govern the operation of 18-wheelers and other large commercial vehicles in Oklahoma. A thorough investigation after a truck accident will include reviews of some or all of the following:
- Laws and regulations that a trucker or trucking company may have broken
- A trucker’s driving log, which may reveal that they were driving without adequate rest between daily runs.
- An inspector’s report or evidence that required inspections were not performed on schedule
- Police reports, which may contain eyewitness accounts of a truck driver’s traffic violations
- Video surveillance footage, which may display traffic violations and other key facts
- A truck’s black box data, which may reveal patterns of speeding and other important information
Investigators will seek to discover whether the truck driver inspected the tires, brakes, lights and other safety features before taking their vehicle on the road.
