Semi Truck Accidents Can Occur Quickly and Unexpectedly, Many Times Causing Death

A big truck can weigh more than 80,000 pounds and can be up to 75 feet in length—it is therefore not surprising that truck accidents typically result in more serious accidents and fatalities than other auto accidents. Approximately 140,000 people are injured in 18-wheeler accidents each year, with approximately 4,900 people being killed in these accidents. Victims of large truck accidents can often require expensive medical treatment which could conceivably continue for years and result in astronomical medical bills. Our highly skilled attorneys do not want you to get lost in the paper shuffling aftermath of a trucking accident. Insurance companies and their adjusters may be giving you the runaround, making it difficult, if not impossible, to get the help and financial compensation from your accident that you deserve. At Richardson Richardson Boudreaux Keesling, the Tulsa legal professionals in dealing with insurance issues as well as the many regulatory issues surrounding highway truck accidents, will be 100% in your corner.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can occur quickly and unexpectedly and result from a variety of factors and causes such as:

  • Drivers who are tired or exhausted
  • Drivers who are inexperienced or did not receive adequate training
  • Drivers who are driving under the influence (only about 1% of accidents and fatalities)
  • Drivers who drive aggressively, recklessly or too fast
  • Trucks that are overloaded or oversized
  • Poorly maintained trucks, including brakes and tires
  • Inadequate or missing safety mechanisms

Inadequate safety mechanisms can include faulty mirrors or old, worn out, or defective tires. Even if you are minding your own business, following a safe distance behind a big truck on the highway, your world can literally change in an instant should the truck have a blowout on a tire. The truck could lock down or skid, causing you, and everyone else behind you, to be involved in an accident. The trucker could also be nodding off from lack of sleep, or could end up causing an accident through his negligence or inexperience.

If you are the survivor of a truck accident you've been through enough. You are likely suffering through pain from your accident injuries as well as astronomical medical bills. You may be unable to work and unable to pay your basic and necessary bills. You need—and deserve—help and monetary compensation from the accident that will enable you to pay medical bills and make up for your lost wages.
