Oklahoma City Truck Accident Attorney: What You Need to Know

Oklahoma City is a major hub for commercial trucking — I-35, I-40, and I-44 converge here, making it one of the busiest freight corridors in the nation. When a trucking company's negligence injures you, Colton Richardson fights back.

The I-35/I-40 Crosstown interchange in OKC is one of the most accident-prone stretches of highway in Oklahoma. I-240 south of the city and the Kilpatrick Turnpike also see heavy commercial traffic. Colton Richardson handles truck accident cases throughout Oklahoma County and appears in Oklahoma County District Court.

About Truck Accidents Cases in Oklahoma

Truck accidents are among the most devastating crashes on Oklahoma roads. When an 18-wheeler, semi-truck, or commercial vehicle collides with a passenger car, the results are often catastrophic — or fatal. These cases are far more complex than standard car accidents because they involve multiple liable parties, federal regulations, and well-funded corporate defense teams.

  • Investigate driver logs, maintenance records, and company safety violations
  • Identify all liable parties — driver, trucking company, cargo loader, manufacturer

Oklahoma Law & Your Rights

Trucking companies operating in Oklahoma must comply with both Oklahoma state law and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Violations of these regulations — such as exceeding hours of service limits or failing to maintain vehicles — constitute negligence per se. Oklahoma's two-year statute of limitations applies, but critical evidence like black box data and driver logs can be overwritten quickly — call immediately.
