Driver fatigue is one of the most common — and most dangerous — causes of truck accidents in Oklahoma. When an exhausted driver is behind the wheel of a 40-ton vehicle, the consequences can be catastrophic. Even a momentary lapse in alertness can lead to rear-end collisions, lane departures, rollover crashes, and fatal highway [...]
A rear-end collision can happen anywhere in Midwest City — on I-40, Air Depot Blvd, SE 15th, or even while sitting at a red light outside Town Center Plaza. These crashes often feel “minor” at first, but neck pain, headaches, back injuries, and car damage can show up hours or days later. If you [...]
After a serious truck wreck in Oklahoma, you’d expect the truth to come out quickly. But trucking companies — and the insurers who back them — often move fast to protect themselves, not the injured victims. Their goal is simple: minimize their liability and pay as little as possible. If you were hit by [...]
If you’ve been hurt in a hit-and-run accident in Moore, Oklahoma, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. These crashes are happening more often on streets like I-35, 4th Street, Eastern Avenue, and the high-traffic shopping areas near 19th Street.

Purcell’s small-town charm hides a big problem: heavy truck traffic cutting through narrow local streets. Between Highway 74, I-35, and the busy crossings near Main Street, oversized vehicles and tight intersections have made Purcell one of central Oklahoma’s most overlooked danger zones for serious crashes. At Aldridge Teasdale, we’ve represented drivers and families hurt [...]
After a car wreck, the phone calls and paperwork start fast — often before you’ve even had a chance to fully understand your injuries. One of the first things many crash victims experience is an insurance adjuster offering a quick settlement. It may feel like the simplest way to put the accident behind you, but [...]
Car accidents aren’t always black and white. Maybe you were turning left when someone sped through a yellow light — or you braked too late, but the other driver was texting. If you think you were partly at fault for a wreck in Oklahoma, you might be wondering: can I still recover compensation? The [...]
Slip and fall cases often come down to one critical question: What really happened? While witness statements and photos can help, nothing is more powerful than surveillance video. In Oklahoma, security cameras are everywhere — grocery stores, gas stations, apartment complexes, restaurants, parking lots, and even city buildings. Video evidence can be the deciding factor [...]
