Wrongful Death
Nothing can ever fill the void left behind when a loved one's life is stolen. Oklahoma law allows certain surviving family members to vindicate their loved one's life and legacy through a case in the Oklahoma court system.
Car Accident
Generally, the at-fault driver's insurance is responsible for your damages. Insurance companies know this and routinely dispute who is at fault, undervalue injuries that occur, and lowball claimants.
Truck Accidents
While car accidents generally concern only state laws and insurance companies, commercial truck crashes often have many more complex layers involving federal trucking regulations, employer liability, and multiple insurance policies. The complexity of these cases usually balloon quickly.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists face bias from insurance companies and juries alike based on assumptions about motorcyclists on the road. Fighting bias requires pushing back on those assumptions directly and documenting the actual, factual cause of the incident.
Slip & Fall
Anyone who owns property has some level of duty to care for the people who are on their property, even in some situations where the person on the property was there unlawfully. See 76 O.S. § 80. If the owner did not fulfill their duty to care for the injured person, then their breach of that duty may make them liable for the damages resulting from that breach. See OUJI-CIV No. 9.1.
Dog Bites
Usually dog owners in Oklahoma are strictly liable for their dog's bite, meaning in most circumstances the owner has to pay damages that result from their dog's bite. See 4 O.S. § 42.1. Compelling owners to pay the damages owed may still require some advocacy in the court system or against insurance companies.
Uininsured / Underinsured Motorists
Unfortunately, when an at-fault driver doesn't have insurance or enough insurance, your own insurance company will fight against paying you just as hard as the other driver's insurance would fight. An attorney can assist with recovering payments from insurance companies in these situations.
Frequently Asked Questions ("FAQ")
The insurance company offered me a settlement—do I need a lawyer?
A lawyer can help make sure your interests are represented fairly in the final settlement. Often, an early settlement is calculated before the full cost of your injury is known. That means you possibly aren't going to get the full cost of your expenses paid, especially if you experience complications or your injuries are worse than initially expected.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Oklahoma?
Generally, in Oklahoma you have two years from the date of injury to file for recovery. 12 O.S. § 95 (3). Your case may be different.
What if I am partly at fault?
In Oklahoma the jury considers the amount of fault each person has for causing the injury. See 23 O.S. § 13. If you are 49% or less at fault, then in most cases you remain eligible to receive some damages from the parties who are 51% or more at fault.
How much money is my case worth?
The damages awarded by courts in Oklahoma for personal injury claims vary based on many factors such as medical expenses, lost income, severity of the injury, and permanence of the injury. 23 O.S. § 61.3. Skilled attorneys help you apply the law to the facts of your situation.
What does it cost to hire you?
It costs nothing to consult with us initially. If your case is declined, then we will refer you to another attorney for free. If your case is accepted, we generally work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no cost to you unless we settle or win your case, and the cost to you is only ever a portion of your winnings.
What should I do right after an accident? Do I need a lawyer?
Get medical attention even if you feel fine, document everything you are able to, do not speak to anyone (especially the other's driver's insurance company) about details of the incident, and consult an attorney as soon as possible—especially before you sign anything.
