From Out Of State And In An Auto Accident Or SUV Rollover?

Our car accident, truck accident, and SUV rollover accident lawyers in Oklahoma meet the legal needs of both out of state and local residents. Every year millions of cars, trucks, and motorcycles pass through Oklahoma. Some stop and visit, but many are enroute to some other destination. Whether driving U.S. Interstate 40 from Amarillo to Little Rock, or Interstate 35 from Kansas City to Austin, Oklahoma becomes a leg of the trip.

The last thing anyone wants on a road trip is an auto accident. Being away from home can be particularly disadvantageous in such an event. Lack of convenient proximity to home adds a new dimension of difficulty to an already challenging situation. Not only are we without our established network of resources and support, but we also face unfamiliar state laws.

If you're traveling through Oklahoma, and you were involved in an auto accident, you need a firm of auto accident lawyers who know Oklahoma state law. Atkins & Markoff is that firm. Our auto accident lawyers possess an unsurpassed knowledge of auto accident litigation in Oklahoma and can help you receive the compensation you deserve.

Defective Tires

The issue of defective tires gained national attention in August 2000 when Firestone tires were directly linked to nearly 200 rollover auto accident deaths and the company issued a recall of over 6.5 million ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT tires. Most of these tires were standard issue at that time for the Ford Explorer, which proved to be a deadly combination. Tire tread separation is particularly dangerous because it typically happens at high speeds. That, in conjunction with an increased susceptibility to SUV rollover, particularly in the Ford Explorer, which has a high center of gravity and relatively narrow wheelbase, makes this defect particularly likely to result in injury or death.

The manufacturers of automobiles, tires, and other parts and components have a responsibility to ensure that their products do not cause harm to consumers. If you or a family member has been injured in an auto accident or SUV rollover related to defective tires, the auto accident attorneys or SUV rollover lawyers in Oklahoma at Atkins & Markoff can help you receive the compensation you deserve. Please contact our auto accident attorneys and SUV rollover lawyers for more information on auto accident lawsuits and SUV rollover lawsuits in Oklahoma.

Infant Restraints

A child is twice as likely to sustain a head injury if his or her child restraint is not properly installed. And since many child restraints are incompatible with certain types of vehicles, proper installation may be impossible. Inadequate federal minimum standards and failure by the child restraint industry to address design limitations have resulted in an increase in product liability causes of action against restraint manufacturers over the last several years. If a child in your family has been injured in an auto accident while in a child restraint, the auto accident attorneys at Atkins & Markoff - located in Oklahoma - can help you receive the compensation you deserve.
