One Passenger Killed, Two Injured in CrashAccording to police, Amanda Sue Goodman of Oklahoma died from trauma sustained when the eastbound vehicle in which she was a passenger collided with a westbound tractor trailer on Highway 412. The fatal accident took place at about 10am on December 25, 2012. The driver of the SUV, 32-year-old Justin David Goodman, was hospitalized with multiple injuries at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center, and the couple's four-year-old daughter also suffered arm, head and internal injuries in the collision, which made surgery necessary. The police report indicates that all passengers in the SUV were wearing their seat belts, but, nevertheless, they were ejected from the vehicle during the accident. The truck driver, a 51-year-old man from Ohio, was uninjured in the crash.Our Skilled Attorneys Can HelpDue to the sheer size and weight of semi-trucks, tractor trailers and 18-wheelers, collisions involving commercial trucks like these and passenger vehicles typically have devastating consequences for those in the passenger vehicle. In 2008 alone, there were roughly 4,229 fatalities and 70,000 injuries in the United States involving commercial trucks. That same year, Oklahoma saw 115 trucking accident deaths and 1,300 injuries. If you have been injured in a trucking accident in Oklahoma, or if you lost a loved one in a fatal collision, don't hesitate to seek qualified legal help. You may have grounds to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the person or party found at-fault in the accident, in order to pursue financial compensation for your injuries. Here at Atkins & Markoff, our knowledgeable lawyers have experience protecting the rights of Oklahomans injured or killed in car accidents, and will work diligently to help you seek fair and timely reimbursement for your losses.
