With over 113,000 miles of highway in Oklahoma, it is clear that many Oklahomans will be involved in a car accident during their lifetime. Many of these accidents result in serious injury or death. The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office reports that in 2008, there were 72,677 auto accidents. Of these wrecks, there were 25,133 auto injury accidents and 673 fatal crashes. As a result of these car, truck, or motorcycle collisions, 30,008 people sustained injury and 751 died.
Collisions involving large trucks or motorcycles are particularly devastating. In 2008, Oklahoma had nearly 5,100 large truck crashes, resulting in 117 deaths and 269 people suffering incapacitating injury. Of the nearly 2,000 motorcycle crashes in 2008, only 267 were non-injury wrecks. That means that 90% of all motorcycle crashes in Oklahoma result in injury or death.
If you are involved in a car accident, contact the police immediately so a report is made at the scene. If you do not report the car accident, the insurance company may deny payment. Receive immediate medical treatment for any injury. Write down names, addresses and phone numbers of all individuals involved in the collision and of any witnesses. Get a copy of the driver exchange information form from the reporting officer. Call your insurance company immediately for further instructions. Do not speak to the at-fault driver’s insurance company about your injury or consent to a recorded statement. Seek the advice of a lawyer as soon as possible. If you are involved in a car accident case, call the experienced and qualified Oklahoma City auto accident attorneys at Lawter & Associates, PLLC who have a proven record of success.

Under Oklahoma law, motorists are required to have liability insurance. However, many uninsured drivers are still operating cars, trucks, and motorcycles on Oklahoma roads.

Our lawyers will review your case and determine what recovery can be made.
Additionally, every motorcycle operator is required to have a motorcycle endorsement on their driver's license. If you sustain an injury from a collision with an unendorsed motorcycle driver, you may be able to obtain compensation as a result of their negligence.
