Auto Accidents

We often think of car accidents as a collision between two vehicles, or maybe one vehicle and one inanimate object, but this isn’t always true. There are thousands of motorists on the roads; they are bound to hit more than one other vehicle at some point. Multi-vehicle accidents can and do happen here in Oklahoma,…

For those of us who have been driving for years and years, we’ve become quite comfortable behind the wheel.
