Oklahoma City Truck Accident Attorney
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident with a commercial truck may have a dramatic impact on a victim. Because these collisions often involve serious injuries and extensive property damage, the victim will be left saddled with exorbitant medical bills, car repairs and other post-accident expenses that may lead to severe financial difficulties. The extent of physical injury sustained in a truck accident may also lead to disfigurement, scarring, limited mobility and lasting disability as well as psychological trauma. The fact that a semi, 18-wheeler or tractor trailer may weigh 10,000 to 80,000 pounds or even more is the primary factor that contributes to the severity of these collisions.

Potential Causes of Truck Accidents
A truck accident may be caused by driver negligence. Speeding, drunk driving, driving while distracted and other types of negligent driving may cause a truck accident to occur. Large trucks are also susceptible to being involved in accidents that are caused by specific conditions that apply only to these large vehicles, including an improperly balanced load, an overloaded trailer or improper maintenance of the truck engine or parts. Commercial trucks are also more severely impacted by heavy weather conditions such as rain, snow and wind.
