Fighting for Victims of Serious Truck Crashes

Collisions involving large trucks—18-wheelers, semi-trucks, and other commercial vehicles—can cause catastrophic injuries and life-changing losses. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles mean even “minor” accidents can have devastating consequences for those in passenger cars. At Calvert Law Firm, we know what’s at stake for truck crash victims and their families. Our Oklahoma truck accident attorneys are here to fight for your rights, hold powerful trucking companies accountable, and secure the compensation you need to recover and rebuild.

Why Are Truck Accidents So Complicated?

Truck collision cases are very different from ordinary car accidents. They often involve:

• Multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, maintenance providers, vehicle manufacturers)
• Complex federal and state trucking regulations
• Extensive evidence (logbooks, black box data, GPS, driver history, company records)
• Serious, often catastrophic injuries and higher damages

Trucking companies and their insurers move quickly to protect themselves after a crash. That’s why you need a law firm with the resources, experience, and trial-ready approach to stand up to them from day one.

Common Causes of Large Truck Collisions

Our attorneys have seen truck accidents caused by:

• Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
• Distracted or impaired truck drivers
• Speeding or reckless driving
• Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo
• Poor vehicle maintenance or mechanical failures
• Inadequate driver training or supervision
• Unsafe road conditions or weather
• Violation of trucking safety regulations

We investigate every case thoroughly, working with accident reconstructionists, engineers, and industry experts to uncover the real cause of the crash—and everyone responsible.

Injuries and Damages in Truck Accident Cases

Because of the force involved in large truck crashes, victims often suffer:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and head trauma
• Spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and back injuries
• Multiple fractures and crush injuries
• Internal injuries and bleeding
• Severe burns, lacerations, or amputations
• Death or wrongful death

These cases require careful, thorough documentation of injuries and losses. At Calvert Law Firm, we work with your medical providers, rehabilitation specialists, and life care planners to make sure every cost—now and in the future—is included in your claim.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?

Unlike a typical car crash, truck accidents may involve several liable parties, including:

• The truck driver (for negligent driving, fatigue, or impairment)
• The trucking company (for poor hiring, training, or supervision; pushing drivers to violate rules)
• Maintenance companies (for mechanical failures or missed inspections)
• Cargo loaders (for shifting or overloaded freight)
• Manufacturers (for defective parts or tires)

Our attorneys know how to identify all potential defendants, maximizing your chance for full compensation.

What To Do After a Truck Collision

1. Seek Medical Care Immediately: Truck accident injuries can be severe. Always get checked out, even if you think you’re okay.

2. Call the Police: A police report is essential for documenting the crash and your injuries.

3. Preserve Evidence: Take photos of the scene, damage, and your injuries. Get names and contact information for all witnesses.

4. Don’t Talk to Insurance Companies Alone: Trucking companies may try to get you to make statements or accept a quick, low settlement. Talk to your lawyer first.

5. Contact Calvert Law Firm Right Away: The sooner we get involved, the more evidence we can preserve and the better we can protect your rights.
