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.

Serious Truck Accident Injuries May Not Appear Right Away
July 2026
Many people involved in a truck accident believe they escaped serious injury because they feel relatively normal immediately after the crash. However, some of the most dangerous serious truck accident injuries may take hours or even days before symptoms appear.
Across Oklahoma highways such as I-35, I-40, and I-44, collisions involving large commercial trucks can generate enormous force. In these situations, adrenaline and shock may temporarily mask pain or other warning signs.
Some serious injuries that may not appear right away include:
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Neck and spinal cord injuries
Spinal disc injuries
Other serious injuries
Because symptoms may develop later, anyone involved in a truck accident should seek prompt medical evaluation and continue monitoring their condition in the hours and days following the crash.
