Two factors play a major role in what a car accident case in Oklahoma is worth: the severity of the injuries and the amount of insurance available.
Even when someone is seriously hurt, a low liability policy on the other driver’s side can cap what is actually collected. That is why uninsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage are so important to have.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my car accident case worth in Oklahoma?
Determining the value of a car case depends on a couple of things in particular. One is the severity of injuries, and two is the amount of available insurance.
So, for example, you have someone that has been hit by somebody and they’ve been very injured, they’ve got their legs broken and they’ve got a broken pelvis.
If the other party only has $25,000 worth of liability insurance and the victim doesn’t have any uninsured motorist coverage that’s available, then the value of that case would only be the policy limit. In fact, the value of the case would be more than that, but they’d only be able to collect the $25,000.
That is why it’s really important for individuals to have uninsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage.
