SKIP TO CONTENTIn the attached video, attorney Bryan Garrett explains the key differences between semi-truck accidents and car accidents in Oklahoma, highlighting why truck accident cases require swift and strategic action. Unlike standard car accidents, semi-truck crashes involve unique challenges due to strict state and federal regulations governing truck drivers and trucking companies.
Truck drivers must adhere to laws regarding log books, driving hours, and vehicle safety inspections. However, one of the biggest differences lies in how quickly trucking companies and their insurance carriers respond after an accident. In many cases, truck drivers notify their dispatch immediately, which triggers a rapid response team, including lawyers and accident reconstruction experts. Shockingly, these teams can sometimes arrive at the scene before the roadway is even cleared.
This aggressive approach aims to protect the trucking company’s interests—not yours. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney on your side as soon as possible. A quick and thorough investigation can uncover the truth before critical evidence is lost.
In one recent case, a truck driver claimed my client caused an accident by making an unsafe lane change and slamming on her brakes. My client was transported from the scene and couldn’t share her side of the story with the officer. The trucking company immediately denied responsibility. However, our team acted quickly, securing video evidence that proved the accident did not happen the way the truck driver claimed.
If you or a loved one have been involved in a semi-truck accident, time is of the essence. Trucking companies waste no time building their defense, and you need aggressive representation to fight for your rights.
