Our Lawyers in Texas Operate Throughout:
Each case is unique. The nature of your injuries, the extent of your losses, and whether or not your case involved extreme negligence (creating an opportunity to award punitive damages) are all factors that need to be considered. An attorney can help you take a closer look at how the incident in question has impacted your life to give you a more accurate estimate.
Truck accident cases can take months or even years to resolve. Each case is unique, so it is impossible to provide an accurate timeline without knowing the specifics or unique details of each case. However, we also recognize that truck accidents can cause tremendous losses, and our team can provide you with tips and guidance to help you continue to live your life while waiting for your claim to be resolved.
Texas places a two-year statute of limitations on injury claims. However, this period shrinks to only six months for claims against government employees or entities. If you have been involved in a car accident and sustained an injury, we recommend contacting an attorney right away to start the process of creating and filing a claim.

Oklahoma City Truck Accident Lawyers

Standing Up to Trucking Companies and Insurers

When an 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle, the outcome is rarely minor. Victims face catastrophic injuries, mounting medical bills, and corporate defendants who mobilize immediately to protect themselves.

These cases are not routine auto claims. They are high-stakes battles against trucking companies, freight brokers, and insurers with deep pockets and national defense firms.

At J. Alexander Law Firm, we know how to fight these battles. Led by Marine Corps veteran Josh Alexander, our firm has built a reputation for standing with Oklahomans when powerful corporations try to avoid responsibility.

Determining Liability in Truck Accident Cases

Truck crashes are rarely simple. While a negligent driver may be the obvious cause, liability often runs deeper. We investigate all potential defendants, including:

  • Truck Drivers – Distracted, impaired, fatigued, or reckless driving.
  • Trucking Companies – Pushing drivers to break hours-of-service rules, hiring unqualified operators, or failing to train properly.
  • Cargo Shippers/Loaders – Overloaded trailers or unsecured freight leading to rollovers and loss-of-control crashes.
  • Maintenance Providers – Neglected inspections or botched repairs.
  • Manufacturers – Defective tires, brakes, or critical components.

Proving liability means digging into driver logbooks, black box data, GPS, maintenance logs, dispatch instructions, and company policies. At J. Alexander Law Firm, we know where to look and how to build a case that holds every responsible party accountable.

Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different

Trucking claims aren’t just “big car accidents.” They involve a unique set of challenges:

  • Federal Regulations – Trucking companies must follow FMCSA rules on hours-of-service, inspections, and cargo securement. Proving violations can strengthen your case.
  • High-Dollar Insurance – Because injuries are often catastrophic, trucking companies carry policies worth millions. That means insurers fight hard to limit payouts.
  • Multiple Defendants – Drivers, employers, contractors, and manufacturers often share liability, leading to complex litigation.
  • Corporate Defense Teams – Trucking companies deploy investigators to crash scenes and retain national defense firms. Victims without aggressive legal representation risk being overrun.

How Trucking Companies Defend These Cases

The moment a serious crash happens, trucking corporations move fast. Their defense teams are often on the ground before the vehicles are even cleared. Common tactics include:

  • Controlling Evidence – Black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records may “go missing” if not preserved quickly.
  • Blaming the Victim – Arguing that the injured driver was at fault or mostly responsible.
  • Dragging Out the Case – Using delay tactics to pressure families into low settlements.
  • Hiring Experts – National defense firms use specialists to dispute injury claims or liability.

We know these tactics because we’ve seen them all. That’s why we act quickly to preserve evidence, subpoena records, and level the playing field.

How Injuries Affect the Value of a Truck Accident Claim

The severity of truck accident injuries often dictates the value of a claim. From a legal standpoint, the question is not just what injuries you suffered, but how those injuries affect your life long-term.

Examples include:

  • Brain and Spinal Injuries – Permanent disability, loss of independence, lifelong care.
  • Severe Orthopedic Injuries – Surgeries, rehab, lost earning capacity.
  • Burns and Amputations – Disfigurement, prosthetics, and ongoing medical support.

We work with medical experts and financial planners to document both immediate and future needs — ensuring settlements and verdicts reflect the full scope of harm. In cases involving gross negligence (such as knowingly overworked drivers), punitive damages may also be available.

How Long Do Truck Accident Cases Take?

These cases often take longer than car accident claims because of their complexity and the resources trucking companies pour into defense. Some resolve in months through settlement; others take a year or more. 

Key factors include:

  • Medical Recovery – Claims often wait until injuries stabilize.
  • Evidence Collection – Black box data, expert analysis, and company records take time.
  • Insurance Resistance – Insurers rarely make fair offers early.
  • Litigation – If a trial is needed, the timeline extends but may yield a stronger recovery.

We balance moving cases forward with ensuring they’re fully developed. Our priority is securing the compensation you need — not the quickest check insurers want to write

Do I Have a Truck Accident Case?

You may have a claim if:

  • You needed medical care after a collision with a truck.
  • You’ve lost wages or earning ability because of your injuries.
  • Liability is disputed by the trucking company or its insurer.
  • A family member was killed in a preventable truck crash.

If your case qualifies, Oklahoma law allows you to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and the long-term personal toll of your injuries. Families may also recover wrongful death damages, including funeral costs and loss of support.

The only way to know for certain is to speak with an attorney. We offer free consultations and only get paid if we win.
