In fact, one out of every eight traffic fatalities involves a trucking collision. Statistically, semi-trucks are the most dangerous vehicles on the highways and roads today. As the number of commercial trucks increase, more and more drivers are at risk. Approximately every 16 minutes a person is killed or injured in a truck accident.

Trucking Industry Regulations
Holding Careless Trucking Companies Responsible
As a result of the extreme dangers these massive vehicles pose to the public, the trucking industry is highly regulated. All trucking companies are required to strictly comply with the regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These agencies are designed to increase public safety on the roads and decrease fatalities and injuries as a result of trucking accidents by ensuring that trucking companies and their drivers operate properly and follow the law. Oklahoma adopts these laws and regulates trucking through the Department of Transportation.

Trucking companies that fail to follow state and federal laws should be held accountable when these failures cause severe injury or death to Oklahomans. Our laws are set up to compensate the victims and survivors of trucking accidents.

They have unlimited resources, years of experience, a wealth of wind-up experts and often have huge insurance policies to fund their defenses.
