Trucking Accident Lawyers in Elk City

In the energy capital of Oklahoma, big trucks are everywhere. When they cut corners on safety, we hold them accountable.

We Know the Oil & Gas Transport Industry

Standard car accident lawyers don't understand the unique regulations governing oil field transport.

Sand & Water Haulers

Often paid by the load, incentivizing drivers to speed and skip safety checks. These trucks destroy rural roads and cause massive wrecks.

Interstate Logistics

Contract carriers passing through on I-40, often fatigued from long cross-country hauls and unfamiliar with local construction.

Heavy Machinery

Transporting drilling rigs, bulldozers, and cranes requires special permits and pilot cars. One mistake allows a load to crush a passing car.

The Dangers of Elk City Roads

Mixing heavy industrial traffic with family vehicles.

Overloaded Trucks

Exceeding weight limits makes trucks harder to stop and prone to tire blowouts and rollovers.

Speeding

On clear stretches of I-40 or Highway 6, drivers often push well past the speed limit to make deadlines.

Driver Fatigue

Oil field exemptions allow longer hours, but a tired driver is just as dangerous as a drunk one.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're looking for a truck accident lawyer near you in Elk City or Beckham County, choose a firm that understands federal trucking regulations and has experience with commercial carriers.

Often multiple parties. The driver, the trucking company, the company that loaded the sand (if overloaded), and the oil company hiring them. We untangle this web to find every insurance policy.
Speed and size. Trucks on I-40 are often traveling 75+ mph. When 80,000 pounds hits a passenger car at that speed, the physics are devastating.
No. They are trying to get a recorded statement to use against you later. Tell them to talk to your lawyer. We handle all communication to protect your claim.
We secure the truck's 'black box' (ECM) data, which shows speed, braking, and hours of service. We also look at logbooks, maintenance records, and driver history.
