Some factors that can affect your Oklahoma City trucking accident case include:
- Weather. Rain, ice, or even the position of the sun creating glare can be used to defend a trucker-after all, nobody can control the weather.

- Emotional state. What kind of day did you have at work? Were you angry or depressed at the time of the accident? The company’s attorney may convince you that your emotions could have affected your driving.
