The driver of the motorcycle, an Oklahoma father of two, lost his life and his wife (the passenger) suffered severe back and neck injuries as a result.
With the help of our board-certified Oklahoma truck accident attorney and Managing Partner, Joe Ervin, the family was able to seek justice and obtain the compensation they deserved. Mr. Ervin built a strong case in court by highlighting the truck driver's negligence, his client's injuries, and the impact his client’s death would have on his loved ones -- including his young children.
In addition to being held accountable civilly, the truck driver was also held accountable criminally.
