Bad March Weather, Inattention and a Dramatic Inrease in Truck Deliveries Mean More Truck Wreck Injuries & Fatalities in Oklahoma: Serious truck accident injuries and fatalities dramatically increase here in Oklahoma during the month of March (especially early March) because of truck drivers who drive at excessive speeds, and who are sleepy, fatigued or distracted during March's notorious bad weather, and when ice and winter road conditions still exist. All Truck Accident injury cases are complex, and require an EXPERIENCED Oklahoma Truck Accident Injury Attorney. If you've been injured in a 2024 Winter or Early Spring Season Truck Accident in OKC, Tulsa or anywhere in Oklahoma, please contact Self & Associates immediately.

18 Wheeler Accident Lawyer: Cars, small trucks, SUVs and motorcycles are no match on our Oklahoma streets and highways for 18 wheeler big rig trucks. A fully-loaded 18 wheeler can weigh over 80,000 pounds -- compare that the average 4,000 pound car or light truck. Many truck drivers who are paid by the load they deliver often drive at excessive rates of speed or with a serious lack of sleep.

Oklahoma children could be at greater risk in a Truck Accident as many times their car seats and/or their position in the back seat of the car makes it more difficult to get them out, and more vulnerable to serious and catastrophic injury especially in a rear-end truck collision.

Oklahoma Semi and 18-Wheeler Truck Accidents on the Rise: In 2024 experts estimate there will be over 2,000 separate truck accidents in Oklahoma, including I-40, I-35 and the busy areas surrounding Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

There is a very strict Oklahoma Statute of Limitations limiting the amount of time you have to file a truck accident injury claim. So, if you've been seriously injured in a Truck Accident anywhere in Oklahoma, you need the Best Oklahoma Truck Accident Attorney on your side, right now.

For over 40 years, Oklahoma Truck Accident Lawyer James Self has successfully represented and recovered millions of dollars for his Oklahoma truck accident & personal injury clients -- -- this is not a combined number from several attorneys, this is Mr. Self's personal success record.

The faster big rig truckers go and the longer they can stay driving down the road, the more money they can make for themselves and the trucking companies they work for. Poor maintenance such as bad brakes or worn tires can also cause serious driving hazards to other motorists.

Truck Accident Injury Law Library Entry for Monday March 18, 2024

Truck Accidents Causing Fatalities

In 2009, the US saw a marked decrease in large truck and bus-related fatalities. Proponents of revised Hours of Service (HoS) regulations (which govern the number of hours truckers can be on the road in a given day and week), heralded the decrease as evidence that the new rules (which had been constantly fought by the Bush administration) protected not only passenger car occupants, but truck drivers as well (26% fewer truckers died in 2009 than in 2008). However, in 2010, the number of people killed in truck accidents rose by nine percent, to a total of 3484 people killed by large truck accidents.

However, when seen as part of a larger trend, it shows a continued decline in the number of truck-related fatalities. Overall, the number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes declined by 25% from 2007 to 2010. Large trucks involved in injury accidents decreased by 23% from 76,000 to 58,000.

Ten-year trends are even more striking, in some ways. The number of large trucks involved in injury accidents dropped by 42%, and the number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes decreased by 30%.

Although these trends may cast doubt on the impact of specific changes to HoS rules, one thing is clear: the regulation of the trucking industry continues to reduce the risk of death or injury on the highway due to truck accidents.

Truck accident lawsuits also help to reduce the number of deaths and injury accidents involving large trucks. If you have been hurt or lost a loved one, your lawsuit can get compensation for you and encourage trucking companies to follow safer practices.
