How to File a Truck Accident Claim

Truck accidents can be more dangerous, destructive and fatal compared to crashes involving regular non-commercial vehicles. The impact of a truck accident can be devastating, and the costs can be much higher.

Nationwide, over 5,000 large trucks and buses were involved in fatal crashes in 2018. That’s an 8% increase from 2016 to 2018. Unfortunately, truck accidents in Oklahoma were on the rise in recent years, too. In 2017, there were 5,540 large truck accidents in Oklahoma alone. Oklahoma’s State Highway 9 is even deemed one of the most dangerous highways in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Electrical Power Line Injuries

Each year, hundreds of Americans are killed and thousands are injured because of electrical hazards, such as a downed electrical power line. Power lines can carry more than 500,000 thousand volts; touching a downed electrical power line can open up a path from a high voltage zone, like the line, to a low voltage zone, like your body, causing injuries or death.

Many fatal accidents involving electrocution from an electrical power line are not the fault of the persons hurt. At Carr & Carr, we have successfully helped injured Oklahomans and their families receive financial compensation following an electric power line accident.
