Taking on trucking companies and their insurers when 18-wheelers cause catastrophic injuries.
Tulsa sits at the crossroads of I-44 and the Arkansas River corridor, one of the busiest commercial trucking routes in the country. When a negligent truck driver or trucking company injures you, Colton Richardson has the experience and resources to take them on.
Major trucking routes through Tulsa include I-44 (the Will Rogers Turnpike corridor), I-244, the Broken Arrow Expressway, and Highway 75. The Port of Catoosa, one of the most inland ports in the US, generates significant commercial truck traffic through the Tulsa metro. Colton Richardson handles truck accident cases throughout Tulsa County and the surrounding area.
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 even 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.
Truck accidents almost always require law enforcement. A thorough police report is essential.
Truck accident injuries are often severe. Get to Saint Francis or Hillcrest immediately and follow all treatment recommendations.
Trucking companies deploy rapid response teams after serious crashes. Do not give any statements before speaking with an attorney.
Photograph everything. Do not repair or dispose of your vehicle; it is evidence.
The truck's black box and dashcam footage can be overwritten within days if a preservation letter isn't sent right away. Early action is critical in truck accident cases.
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. Federal law requires a carrier's electronic logging device records to be kept for at least six months, but the truck's separate black box (event data recorder) information and any dashcam footage have no federal retention requirement and can be lost through routine overwriting within days, so call immediately.
Colton Richardson has handled truck accident cases against major carriers and their insurers. He knows the federal regulations trucking companies routinely violate, and he uses those violations to build powerful cases for his clients.
