Tulsa Lawyer Getting Justice and Compensation
For Truck Accident Victims
Whether you call them tractor trailers, semis or 18-wheelers, these trucks can weigh about 80,000 pounds or more. The average passenger car weighs about 5,000 pounds. If you have been involved in a crash with a truck, you know that the injuries and the trauma can be devastating.
While we have to share Oklahoma's highways and roads with big rigs, truckers and truck companies have a legal responsibility to ensure their safe operation. Drivers are required to adhere to daily and weekly hours-of-service limits to avoid fatigue, and owners are responsible for proper truck maintenance. When these rules aren't followed, severe injuries, and even fatal accidents, can be the result.
Your Truck Accident Gets My Full Attention
A truck accident case is not like a car accident case. In addition to the increased risk of critical injuries, truckers must keep records that are important in determining your compensation. It is imperative that you contact an experienced truck accident lawyer as soon as possible. Call me at the Law Office of Charles Bryan Alred, P.C., at 918-770-4645 for a free consultation.
As your attorney, I will make sure that the insurance companies pay you for every reasonable medical expense, all lost wages and earning potential, all property damage and all the physical and emotional pain and suffering damages you are entitled to receive when you have been injured in a truck accident.
There are a number of reasons why it is important to get legal help right away, before signing anything with the insurance company, if you or a family member has been injured in a commercial truck accident:
- Determining liability can be tricky. For instance, if the truck had a defective tire, the tire manufacturer could be held responsible.
- Did the driver go over the "legal limit" of hours he or she was supposed to drive in the course of a day or a week? Your attorney needs to see the trucker's log book to find out.
- The trucker's or trucking company's insurance adjuster and attorney will try to be first on the scene. By getting fast representation, your lawyer will be able to mount an investigation and start building your case.
