Trucking Cases Require Specialized Knowledge

Big rigs and logging trucks carry federal and state regulations that regular car accident cases don't. You need attorneys who understand trucking law.

Federal Regulations

We know FMCSA rules—hours of service, driver qualifications, cargo securement—that form the backbone of negligence claims.

Multiple Defendants

The driver, trucking company, timber company, and cargo loader may all share liability. We identify every responsible party.

Evidence Disappears Fast

Black box data and driver logs can be erased. We send preservation letters immediately.

Leflore County's Trucking Landscape

Mountain roads, logging operations, and coal hauling create unique hazards in southeastern Oklahoma.

Logging Trucks

Fully loaded logging trucks are among the heaviest vehicles on the road. Unsecured loads and brake failures cause catastrophic crashes.

Mountain Highways

US-59 and US-271 feature steep grades, sharp curves, and limited visibility. Commercial trucks struggle on these conditions.

Coal & Aggregate Hauling

Mining operations generate heavy truck traffic on roads not designed for the weight and volume.
