If you're looking for a truck accident lawyer near you in Enid or Garfield County, choose a firm that understands federal trucking regulations and has experience with commercial carriers.

Yes. Harvest season brings hundreds of trucks to Enid. While some agricultural exemptions exist, they do not excuse negligence or reckless driving. We investigate these cases thoroughly.
Oil field trucks often have special exemptions for 'waiting time' regarding their Hours of Service, but they still must drive safely and maintain their brakes. We know the specific DOT regulations for the oil patch.
High winds in NW Oklahoma are known hazards. Professional drivers are trained to handle wind or park the truck. Blaming the weather is often just an excuse for driving too fast for conditions.
Often both. We can sue the driver for negligence and the company for negligent hiring, supervision, or maintenance. This maximizes the insurance policies available for your recovery.
