Your Oklahoma City Truck Accident Lawyer

A collision with a tractor-trailer can do serious damage to a passenger vehicle and the occupants inside. That’s why the trucking industry must follow strict safety standards and regulations. Yet despite these laws, the temptation to rush deliveries and turn a quick profit means that safety rules sometimes get bent or broken—and innocent people get hurt.

Unfortunately, victims of trucking accidents often face significant legal obstacles. Commercial truck accident cases are often highly complex. Winning one often requires collecting a significant amount of evidence (before the trucking company can destroy it), hiring expert witnesses, and possessing in-depth knowledge of federal regulations. Trucking companies aggressively defend personal injury claims, too.

If you want the best chance at a successful outcome for your truck accident case, you need an experienced, aggressive truck accident lawyer who can even the playing field and help you hold powerful trucking companies accountable.

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, the Wolf Pack™ at Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys can help. Our Oklahoma City truck accident lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals in cities across Oklahoma who have been hurt in accidents with commercial trucks. To take on the trucking industry, you need experienced legal representation. Contact us anytime to schedule a free consultation with our legal team.

Do I Have a Case?

Commercial truck accidents can be complex, with several different parties at fault. If you were injured because of carelessness exhibited by a truck driver, trucking company, or other parties involved with a truck’s safety, you might be entitled to compensation.

Let’s look at some of the factors The Wolf Pack™ will review with you to determine if you have a case that will result in a settlement worth pursuing.

Are You Within the Legal Time Limit?

The time limit to bring a lawsuit to court or file criminal charges is known as the statute of limitations. In Oklahoma truck accidents, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, there are exceptions to this law depending on the unique circumstances of your case. It’s important to work with an experienced Oklahoma truck accident lawyer to ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines and jeopardize your right to compensation.

Was Someone Else at Fault?

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, that 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.

Truck Accident Victims Deserve Expert Representation

Truck accidents are not like other kinds of motor vehicle crashes. Here are just 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.
  • Because of this, investigating causes of the crash and identifying the negligent parties can be extremely time-consuming, complicated, and expensive. But if you don’t do the investigation correctly, you may not be able to prove that your severe injuries were caused by the negligence of others—and 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. A great attorney is someone who understands complex state and federal trucking laws, knows how to conduct a detailed investigation and protect key evidence before the trucking company can destroy it, and will fight aggressively for you.

Injured in a Truck Accident? We Can Help!

Truck accidents can be complicated, but The Wolf Pack™ at Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys is on your side. We’ll fight for every penny you deserve.

How Can a Lawyer Help?

After a truck accident, the clock starts ticking. Right from the beginning, the trucking company will begin working on ways to limit its legal liability and pay motor vehicle accident victims as little as possible. They may pressure you into giving a recorded statement, try to get you to take a lowball settlement offer, or even hire a personal investigator to watch you.

Meanwhile, evidence that could prove the trucking company’s negligence can quickly start to disappear. This might include things like physical debris at the crash site, dashcam footage, truck data recorders, electronic logs for truck drivers, and more. The truck company legally must maintain records only for a certain period and could end up destroying critical evidence if you don’t move quickly to protect it.

Simply put, it’s not fair, and you shouldn’t have to go up against the big truck company alone—particularly when your focus should be going to your medical appointments, spending time with family, and healing.

A lawyer can take on the burden for you. Our experienced Oklahoma City truck accident lawyers will build your case, gather evidence, negotiate with the insurance companies, and file all the paperwork so you can focus on getting better. With our years of experience and resources, we may be able to help you seek the compensation you didn’t even know you were entitled to receive.

Dealing with a truck accident injury can be overwhelming, but our attorneys will work hard to help you seek the compensation you deserve.

Who Is Responsible for My Truck Accident?

When you’re involved in a truck accident, determining who may be held liable can be complex. Unlike most passenger vehicle claims, truck accident claims can involve multiple parties who may share fault, including the:

  • Truck driver
  • Trucking company
  • Company that leased the truck or trailer
  • Individuals who shipped or loaded the truck’s cargo
  • Manufacturers of defective truck parts or safety equipment

Trucking companies and their insurance providers have powerful legal teams defending them against injury claims. It’s our job to level the playing field and fight for you. Our Oklahoma City truck accident lawyers will do whatever it takes to get you the best results possible, even if it means taking the companies responsible for your accident to court.

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™.

Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys has 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.

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.

Do I need to see a doctor?

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.

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.

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 most financial losses related to your accident.

You may be able to receive compensation for your medical bills, doctor visits, travel to appointments, procedures, and medication. You may also be eligible for compensation for lost wages, lost potential future earnings, emotional damages, and even loss of relationships and comfort. Contact us today for a free case review and to find out how much your specific case may be worth. Let The Wolf Pack™ fight for the maximum compensation for you!

Who is responsible for my truck accident?

Truck accident settlements can be tricky because a lot of different parties may hold some responsibility for the accident. The driver may be responsible, as is expected. But, the trucking company, the manufacturers of any vehicle parts that might have failed, or the maintenance crew may also hold some responsibility. The team that loads cargo may even be responsible if the accident was caused by improperly balanced loads shifting.

With all these potential parties involved, it can be tricky to know who will be found responsible. This is one way The Wolf Pack™ lawyers can step in to help you fight for the maximum compensation you deserve. Your Oklahoma City truck accident lawyer will help you determine who should be held responsible, what insurance coverage applies to your situation, and how that impacts the compensation you may receive.

Why is proving negligence hard?

Negligence is a legal term that means proving someone else’s carelessness caused your accident. To receive a settlement, your lawyer will need to show another party acted unreasonably recklessly or carelessly, it led to the accident, and the accident caused your injury.

Many different parties may have played a role in the accident, making proving fault particularly tricky. Each party will likely have its own insurance company and attorneys, and each will try to pass the blame to another. That’s why you need The Wolf Pack™ to fight for you, cut through the fog, and seek the full compensation you deserve.

Can I represent myself?

Legally, there is nothing stopping you from representing yourself in a case. It may, however, leave you with less compensation than you need. Having a qualified Oklahoma truck accident lawyer in your corner can make all the difference when seeking the compensation to which you are entitled under the law. The Wolf Pack™ is known for fighting for our clients so they can focus on recovery.

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.
