Commercial Vehicle Injuries

If you’ve been injured in a crash involving a commercial vehicle—such as a delivery truck, box truck, or tractor-trailer—you may be entitled to compensation. At Schaffer Herring PLLC, we represent individuals in Tulsa and surrounding communities who have suffered serious injuries due to negligent commercial drivers or unsafe fleet operations. Our attorneys handle commercial vehicle injury litigation with the diligence and courtroom experience these cases require.

Why Commercial Vehicle Accidents Are More Complex

Unlike routine car accidents, crashes involving commercial vehicles often involve multiple parties, complex insurance policies, and federal safety regulations. As a result, these cases demand a thorough investigation and a strategic legal approach.

Our team is equipped to handle litigation involving:

Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers
Delivery vans (e.g., Amazon, UPS, FedEx)
Box trucks and flatbeds
Construction vehicles
Utility and service trucks
Passenger vans operated by businesses or nonprofits

In many cases, these vehicles are operated by employees on the job, which may trigger liability for the company—not just the driver.

Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Crashes

Commercial drivers and their employers are held to strict safety standards. When those standards are ignored, the consequences can be devastating. We regularly litigate claims involving:

Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
Distracted or impaired driving
Poor vehicle maintenance
Speeding or aggressive driving
Improper loading or unsecured cargo
Negligent hiring or supervision by the employer

If you or a family member has been injured under these circumstances, we can help you build a strong legal claim backed by evidence and expert insight.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims of commercial vehicle accidents may be entitled to recover:

Medical expenses (current and future)
Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Long-term care or rehabilitation costs
Wrongful death damages (if applicable)

Because these cases can involve higher insurance policy limits, insurance companies often fight hard to minimize payouts. Our firm is prepared to litigate aggressively to protect your rights.
