What Causes Delivery Truck Accidents in Oklahoma City?
Most delivery trucks must follow Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Unfortunately, it only takes one oversight or a cut corner to end in an accident. The most common causes of Oklahoma City delivery truck accidents include:
- Frequent stops, starts, and reverses
- Speeding, or driving too fast for the road and weather conditions
- Distracted driving
- Unsafe lane changes
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Improper merging
- Tailgating
- Improper passing
- Impaired driving
- Inadequate maintenance
- Inexperienced driving
- Improperly secured or unbalanced packages
Delivery trucks are often tall, with a high center of gravity that makes them difficult to control and prone to tip-overs and rollover accidents. They also have extended blind spots on both sides. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), over 70% of truck accident injuries occur to occupants of other vehicles rather than to the truck driver, including in delivery truck crashes.
What Types of Injuries Happen in OKC Delivery Truck Accidents?
Any type of car accident in Oklahoma City can cause serious or even fatal injuries, but when an average vehicle is involved in an accident with a large delivery truck, injuries are more likely to be severe or catastrophic.
Common injuries in Oklahoma City delivery truck accident claims include the following:
- Single or multiple bone fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries
- Soft-tissue injuries like sprains, torn ligaments, and tendon damage
- External head, facial, and dental injuries
- Burns
- Internal organ injuries and internal bleeding
- Crush injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Lacerations, contusions, and abrasions
Serious injuries disrupt the ability to work and sometimes leave the victim uncertain when or if they can work again in their previous capacity. This causes additional distress to the pain and trauma of serious delivery truck accident injuries. A delivery truck accident attorney in Oklahoma City can help you document the full extent of your injuries and pursue maximum compensation for both current and future medical needs.
What Can I Recover in an Oklahoma Delivery Truck Accident Claim?
The economic losses and physical pain of a delivery truck accident are the “damages” in an accident claim against the at-fault party under Oklahoma 23 OK Stat § 13 (2025). A successful claim recovers compensation for common damages such as:
- Past and future medical expenses and out-of-pocket injury-related costs
- Past and future income loss or diminished future earning capacity
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Catastrophic injury compensation for disability, permanent scarring, loss of limb, vision damage, hearing loss, or loss of enjoyment of life
A delivery truck accident lawyer in OKC can evaluate all available damages and ensure no aspect of your losses is overlooked in your claim. Moreover, if a truck accident causes a loved one’s death, your family could recover compensation through an Oklahoma City wrongful death claim.
