Semi-trucks are all over the road, and Oklahoma plays an important part of the country's transportation system. This is because Oklahoma is in the middle of the country and a lot of large trucks carry goods and supplies across the state's highways. In the United States, there are more than 500,000 big truck accidents every year. Over 5,000 people are killed in these accidents, and many more are seriously hurt. In Oklahoma, 654 people died in large truck crashes in 2020, up from 640 the previous year. A lot of these accidents involved semi-trucks. The number of people hurt in truck crashes went up from 1,914 in 2019 to 1,563 in 2020. You need to be ready to pursue a strong claim for recovery by working closely with a competent legal team.
