A semi-truck jackknifes when its trailer swings around toward the truck’s cab. The cab and trailer make an angle like a pocketknife folding, which is where this type of crash gets its name. In Broken Arrow, jackknife truck crashes can happen due to various driving behaviors and circumstances, including:
Jackknife truck accidents can be severe because of the size of most tractor-trailers. A swinging trailer could weigh tens of thousands of pounds and hit cars across multiple lanes of a highway. A jackknifed truck could also block the road, potentially leading to a multi-vehicle pileup.
Jackknifed tractor-trailer collisions in Broken Arrow can be complex because commercial vehicle crashes often have multiple parties at fault. Those liable for your crash damages could include:
Our truck accident lawyers could investigate your case and identify all those liable for your injuries. We could also handle multiple claims if there is more than one at-fault party. Our goal is to get you the maximum compensation possible through every avenue available.
Jackknifed semi-truck wrecks can cause serious injuries and steep medical bills in Broken Arrow. Our lawyers could seek compensation for your treatment, including ongoing services such as physical therapy and extended nursing.
In addition, we could pursue your lost wages and employment benefits. Disabling or permanent injuries that interfere with your ability to work may result in additional compensation for your lost future earning capacity.

According to the Oklahoma Statutes Title § 95(A)(3), you have two years to file most personal injury cases. If you do not file your truck accident lawsuit in civil court within the deadline, you probably cannot take legal action.
If you cannot sue, there is no threat to the insurance company to offer you a fair settlement. Therefore, the statute of limitations affects all cases, even those you resolve through insurance claims.
