Aggressive Oklahoma Trucking Accident attorneys
The Rode Law Firm is a Tulsa personal injury law firm with a focus on disc injuries. If you or an immediate family member sustained disc injuries in a trucking accident, you should contact The Rode Law Firm. Our lawyers have a great deal of experience when it comes to trucking accidents involving semi-trucks, 18- wheelers, tractor-trailers or any big rigs. Our firm provides assertive, proactive legal representation in seeking compensation for damages to which you are entitled to under Oklahoma law.
When you think about the physics of a tractor-trailer weighing up to 80,000 pounds colliding with a passenger vehicle, it’s not surprising that trucking accidents often result in catastrophic and often fatal injuries for the occupants of a car, SUV or pickup truck. Because eighteen-wheelers are so much larger and heavier than most other vehicles on the road, there are strict regulations regarding who can drive these trucks, how long they can drive without resting, how much these trucks can weigh and many other regulations. Sadly, some trucking companies and drivers place monetary interests before safety of the motoring public and do not obey the law.
Truck Company Liability
If a truck driver spends too much time behind the wheel without resting, or drives while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and causes a trucking accident, the trucker can be found negligent and liable for damages, and the trucking company can be held liable for the damage caused by the negligence of the truck driver. Likewise, if a trucking company fails to maintain its vehicles and lax maintenance contributed to an accident, the trucking company can be liable for damages independently of the negligence of its driver.
Victims of 18-wheeler or semi-truck accidents who suffer disc injuries or other injuries, often face a steep and expensive road to recovery, and their injuries may prevent them from working and enjoying many of their daily life activities.
