A woman was recently killed when the car she was driving drifted into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a pickup truck that was hauling a utility trailer, the accident occurring on Peoria Avenue in Tulsa. This wreck comes only days after a similar collision at the Keystone Dam, outside Tulsa, which also claimed one life. These are the types of accidents that may require legal action for the purpose of compensating the victims and their families. The person most qualified to handle such litigation is a Tulsa personal injury lawyer.
Traffic crashes have become frighteningly common in and around the Tulsa area. In 2014, such accidents in this area claimed 51 lives, an increase of nearly 10 percent over the previous year. The Tulsa area has in recent years recorded a generally higher rate of both fatal accidents and fatalities than the rest of Oklahoma. The rates in Tulsa for pedestrian fatalities and fatal crashes caused by intoxicated drivers are also above the state average.
No matter the type of accident, a Tulsa personal injury attorney is the one who can bring help and hope to the victims. An attorney will thoroughly investigate the mishap in order to determine culpability and will then strive to obtain the compensation that is needed. Damages can be sought to cover medical expenses, loss of income and the loss of companionship by members of the victim’s family. However, it will take the involvement of a Tulsa personal injury attorney to ensure the best possible outcome of the case. Those who have been the victims of traffic accidents in and around Tulsa should consider turning to the services available at Wandres Law. Call 918-641-4044 and ask for a free consultation.
