Under Oklahoma’s statute of limitations, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. Miss that deadline and you can lose your right to recover anything, so it's important to talk to a lawyer early, while evidence is fresh and witnesses are available.
You can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault, as long as your share of the blame is not greater than 50%. This is called modified comparative negligence (the "51% rule"). Your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're found 20% at fault on a $100,000 claim, you recover $80,000. Insurance companies love to inflate your share of the blame, which is exactly why having an attorney matters.
Oklahoma law lets injured people recover two broad categories of damages. Economic damages cover measurable losses such as medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and property damage, and Oklahoma places no cap on economic damages. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. Every case is different, and the only way to know what yours may be worth is to have it reviewed by an experienced attorney.
