Proving Negligence in a Truck Crash

All drivers have a duty of care toward other motorists. You must operate your vehicle according to the law, be mindful of your surroundings, and not take unnecessary risks that could harm anyone else. Failing to use reasonable care is negligent, and a negligent driver is responsible for the harm they cause others.

Truck drivers have a heightened duty toward others. They must use the utmost care, not just reasonable care, when operating their vehicles. Almost any deviation from best driving practices could be a failure to use the utmost care, and the truck driver and their employer could be liable for your injuries.

The evidence needed to prove a case will vary based on the specific facts of the crash. Our attorney in Oklahoma City can carefully review the truck driver’s logs, the trucking company’s dispatch records, and other relevant documentation to determine whether negligent actions contributed to the accident that caused your amputation.

The amount you receive should also cover the cost of future care and replacement prosthesis. It should pay for you to go back to school or get job training, and if you will not be able to earn what you did before the accident, your damagesIn a civil lawsuit, money designed to compensate an injured person.

Why Is Working With an Attorney Necessary?

Many truck accident claims settle for only the minimum motor carrier insurance coverage, or even less. Unfortunately, that often does not come close to covering the full scope of what someone has lost. Attorneys who do not regularly handle truck litigation may miss critical details, overlook responsible parties, or accept a quick settlement that leaves significant compensation unclaimed.

At The Law Firm for Truck Safety, we focus solely on truck crash cases. We know where to look for hidden evidence, which records matter most, and how to build strong, detailed claims that reflect the true impact of your injuries. Our goal is to help you pursue the full amount of compensation you may need to move forward with stability, dignity, and support.

How Does the Process Work?

We then begin building a case against the trucking company and any other responsible parties. Oklahoma Statute § 12-95 requires you to file a lawsuit within two years of the accident, but cases tend to be stronger when we begin work soon after the incident.

We also contact the responsible parties and begin negotiations. However, sometimes negotiations stall when the responsible parties refuse to offer a settlement that exceeds their insurance coverage limits.

When you have a catastrophic injurySevere injuries that result in long-term, if not permanent, disability or disfigurement. such as an amputation, the coverage may be insufficient to meet your future needs. In that case, we could file a lawsuit and take the matter to trial.
