After an injury, you may be managing medical appointments, missed work, and calls from an insurance company. Our attorneys help you understand your options and handle the legal work involved in pursuing your claim.
We review the circumstances of your injury and identify the evidence needed to evaluate responsibility. Depending on the case, that may include incident reports, photographs, witness statements, medical records, and information held by a business, property owner, or other party.
Understanding your losses takes more than adding up the first medical bills. We consider your treatment, time away from work, ongoing limitations, and the effect of the injury on your daily activities. When necessary, we work with appropriate experts to evaluate issues such as future care needs and the ability to return to work.
We organize the evidence supporting your claim, communicate with the insurance company, and evaluate settlement offers with you. Our role is to explain the offer, the outstanding questions, and your available options so you can make an informed decision.
If a settlement cannot be reached, a lawsuit may be the next step. Our attorneys explain what litigation would involve, prepare the necessary filings, and represent you through the process. Filing a lawsuit does not necessarily mean your case will go to trial.
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.
