That’s already a win, but navigating the post-accident world of insurance adjusters, settlement offers and the pressure to financially recover from the damages you’ve suffered can make surviving a truck accident a living nightmare.

The last few days of freezing rain have really done a number on Tulsa’s residents. Monday’s storm was so bad that even Meals on Wheels cancelled its deliveries that day.
