Protecting Your Interests in Truck Accident Claims
Founded more than 30 years ago and tracing our roots back to 1977, the law firm of Wilburn & Masterson was originally established as an insurance defense firm. We therefore have a thorough understanding of insurance law, claim settlement practices, and what insurers need to see before they'll make a fair offer on the serious injury claims typical of truck accidents.
As the focus of our firm's practice has shifted toward representation of accident victims, our attorneys use our insurance defense experience to help our clients get the full benefit of all the insurance available to meet a given claim. To learn how we can put this experience to work for you in a truck accident case, contact Wilburn & Masterson in Tulsa for a free consultation.

One important difference between car accident and truck accident litigation has to do with the amount of the insurance coverage available. When consumer car insurance policies make up the only coverage available, it can be a challenge to patch together a fair settlement out of $10,000 and $25,000 policies. That's typically not a problem in trucking accidents. Commercial vehicle liability coverage limits usually start at $1 million.
Because so much money is at stake, commercial insurers can be expected to insist on detailed evidence and documentation for every aspect of your damages claim. Our familiarity with truck accident litigation also means that we know how the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations can help establish the facts indicating negligence on the part of the truck driver, the trucking company, an independent contractor or a warehouse agent.
We represent clients throughout the Tulsa area and northeast Oklahoma in litigation over serious or fatal injuries suffered in collisions with 18-wheelers, construction vehicles, delivery vans and other commercial trucks.
