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.
