Truck Accident

Tens of thousands of people are involved in trucking accidents on the nation’s highways every single year. In Oklahoma alone, there were over 3,100 just in 2024. When you’re involved in a serious truck accident, figuring out exactly what went wrong is rarely simple. Did the driver fall asleep? Were they on their phone or…

Recent tragic events have exposed the risks posed by illegal truck drivers. Oklahoma is now attempting to crack down on these drivers and their employers. A recent Tulsa World article covered a law enforcement sweep on I-40. That sweep found that over one in four of the drivers stopped were undocumented. To make matters worse,…

Oklahomans are no strangers to truck accidents. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), over 3,300 bus and truck accidents happened in the state in 2024, with 110 people losing their lives.

Trucking accidents are different from other types of vehicle accidents in a number of important ways. One of the biggest factors that complicate these claims is the FMCSA and their trucking regulations.

Tractor trailers have multiple blind spots, which are larger than those on passenger vehicles. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult for truck drivers to see other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians near or around their trucks. As a result, limited visibility due to blind spots or failure to check blind spots can lead to many truck accidents…

The accident occurred around 3 a.m. on eastbound I-44 near 177th East Avenue. Surveillance footage provided by Michael Cisco from Cisco Containers reveals the moment of impact.

Truck accidents are frightening. Cars are simply no match for tractor-trailers, semis, rigs, 18-wheelers, flatbeds, and other large trucks. When a large truck collides with a car, the occupants of the car are likely to suffer catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, severe burns, broken bones, organ damage, and nerve damage.
