Fighting for Trucking Accident Victims
Trucking accidents can result in extremely serious and sometimes fatal injuries to accident victims. Truck drivers have the added responsibility of knowing how their vehicles are going to handle in certain situations and to operate their vehicles in a way that ensures the safety of other motorists to the fullest extent possible. When they fail in this responsibility, the consequences can be devastating.
If you have been catastrophically injured in a car accident involving a truck or 18-wheeler, be sure that you have a civil litigation lawyer on your side with experience in complex personal injury cases. At the Oklahoma City based law firm of Mills & McKeever, P.C., we have helped clients throughout Oklahoma and north Texas who have been injured in trucking accidents.
Seeking Maximum Compensation for Your Injuries
Our attorneys have extensive experience in truck accident injury cases. Our founding attorney W. Wayne Mills spent 20 years working in insurance defense, including many cases representing trucking companies and their insurance companies. He has a keen insight into these cases from both sides and he knows how to seek the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Holding Truck Drivers and Companies Responsible
There are many different parties that may share in the responsibility for your injuries in a semi truck accident. Not only can the driver be held liable, the driver's employer and the owner of the truck can also be liable under the law.
Truck drivers and trucking companies are required to follow requirements established by the Federal Highway Administration, but that doesn't mean that they do. We know the regulations so we can quickly determine whether your accident may have been caused by the following errors:
- Violating log book requirements
- Exceeding allowable driving hours
- Shifting load
- Speeding
- Driving distracted
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
In addition, we will also look at the possibility of any equipment failure that may have contributed to the accident. We have successfully pursued many product liability claims on behalf of our clients in these types of cases. We also evaluate whether the trucking accident occurred in a construction zone because different rules and regulations may have applied, such as a reduced speed limit.
