We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.
There are a lot of car accidents in Oklahoma, and across the country, accidents are still the main cause of death and major injury. In the United States, there are more than six million car accidents every year, which hurt more than three million people on average. Some of the leading factors in serious collisions include distracted driving, speeding, and intoxication, and it is hard to know if or when you'll be hurt in a serious crash. The path to recovery after losing a loved one in a crash can be long and difficult, especially if you try to do it all alone. You need to do everything possible to hold the at-fault party accountable by working closely with a trained legal team.
