Yukon Truck Accident Attorney
Large commercial trucks are critical to the nation’s supply chain and bring essential goods and services to Yukon, Oklahoma, and elsewhere. Truck accidents are devastating traffic events due to the immense size and weight disparity between trucks weighing up to 80,000 pounds and the average 4,000-pound vehicle. Injuries in Yukon truck accidents are often serious, catastrophic, or fatal.

What Causes Yukon Truck Accidents and Who Is Liable for Damages?
Oklahoma has one of the highest instances of truck accidents per year, with an average of 115 truck accident fatalities per year.
Truck accident claims are often complex because multiple parties are responsible for keeping trucks safe on the road. Liability depends on the circumstances of the accident. Common causes of truck accidents in Yukon include the following:
- Speeding, or failing to adjust speed to weather or traffic conditions
- Distracted driving
- Fatigued driving
- Unsafe lane changes due to extended blind spots
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Unsafe merging
- Improper passing
- Tailgating
- Improperly secured, suddenly shifting loads
- Wide turns
- Improper braking
- Defective tires, parts, or equipment
In other cases, road hazards such as poorly designed intersections, construction debris, unrepaired potholes, and obstructed signs leave entities unrelated to the trucking industry itself liable for damages. A thorough investigation of the accident is required to determine the cause and identify the parties liable for damages.
What Damages Can I Recover in a Yukon Truck Accident Claim?
Truck accident damages are often substantial, especially for life-altering injuries and temporary or permanent disability, but even accident victims with minor injuries deserve compensation for their damages.
Common damages recovered in Yukon truck accident cases include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Past and future income loss or reduced earning ability
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Catastrophic injury compensation for permanent harm such as loss of limb, vision, and hearing or permanent scarring
According to the National Safety Council, about 70% of truck accident injuries and fatalities happen to other motorists, not the truck driver.
