How to File a Truck Accident Claim in Oklahoma

Truck accidents can be more dangerous, destructive and fatal compared to crashes involving regular non-commercial vehicles. The impact of a truck accident can be devastating, and the costs can be much higher.

Nationwide, over 5,000 large trucks and buses were involved in fatal crashes in 2018. That’s an 8% increase from 2016 to 2018. Unfortunately, truck accidents in Oklahoma were on the rise in recent years, too. In 2017, there were 5,540 large truck accidents in Oklahoma alone. Oklahoma’s State Highway 9 is even deemed one of the most dangerous highways in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

If you were injured or a loved one died as a result of a truck accident in Oklahoma, the team of attorneys at Carr & Carr are here to help. Please call our office at 866-510-0580 or contact us online to schedule your free consultation with an experienced attorney on our team.

Firearm Safety With Michael Carr

Attorney Michael Carr joins Good Day Tulsa to talk about firearm safety and how gun owners can avoid negligent lawsuits.

From 2005 to 2010, nearly 3,800 people in the United States died from unintentional shootings. More than a third of the victims were younger than 25.

On average, people in all age groups are more likely to die from unintentional firearm injuries when they live in states with more guns.

Firearm negligence is a serious matter. If you’ve been involved in an accidental shooting or been injured by another person’s discharge of a firearm, the firearm negligence attorneys at Carr & Carr can help.

What Is Gap Insurance?

What is GAP insurance?

Car Key on an Insurance Policy

GAP Insurance stands for Guaranteed Asset Protection Insurance.

This is insurance that can be purchased at the time you buy an automobile. which provides you with protection in the event your vehicle is totaled out in an accident. It pays any additional difference that is owed between the actual cash value of the vehicle and the balance of your loan.

This is important coverage to consider when buying a vehicle since most vehicles depreciate in value faster than the loan is paid off. New cars lose value the moment they are driven off of the sales lot, 20-30% in the first year.

When An SSD Attorney Can Help

In a recent episode of Good Day Tulsa, Michael Carr from Carr & Carr talked talks about how social security disability works and when you may need the help of a Tulsa social security disability attorney.

We handle all aspects of the claims and appeals process.

The Social Security disability claims process can be difficult and confusing. There are many applications, questionnaires, and appeals forms to complete that must adhere to a strict timeline. 

Failure to abide by the timeline means the claimant must start all over at the Initial stage. For someone unfamiliar with the forms, the task of completing them all can be overwhelming.

Knowing when and what appeals to file is critical to keeping your claim alive. At Carr and Carr, while we cannot file your initial application, we can manage your case from initiation to conclusion after you submit your initial application.
