Oklahoma Car Accident Lawyers You Can Trust

Serving injured drivers in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and throughout Oklahoma since 1974

Car accidents in OKC, Tulsa, and throughout Oklahoma wreak havoc on people's lives. In an instant, a serious crash can turn your life upside-down. A bad wreck could leave you seriously injured and unable to work or move normally for weeks, months, or even the rest of your life.

Insurance providers should make good on their policies and give you the substantial payout you deserve. They should do this, but they usually don't. By making nothing but lowball offers, insurance companies practically force people to hire lawyers. Our attorneys are experienced in high-stakes negotiations. When the insurance companies say no, we take on the adjusters and their lawyers for you. We push back until we break through.

When our firm is fighting for you, you get an attorney that can't be intimidated and won't back down.

Common Questions After a Car Accident

Click any question below for a straight answer from our Oklahoma car accident attorneys.

What Types of Car Accidents Do You Commonly Handle?

Our attorneys represent injured victims of nearly every kind of crash in Oklahoma. This includes bike and bicycle accidents, where a distracted or careless driver strikes a cyclist who had the right of way, and motorcycle accidents, which tend to cause more severe injuries than a standard car-on-car collision. We also handle Uber, Lyft, and taxi accidents, whether you were a rideshare passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian hit by one of these vehicles, as well as passenger injury claims when you were hurt while riding in someone else's car. Many of the crashes we see happen at intersections, where a driver runs a red light or fails to yield, and a large number are caused by drunk driving or distracted driving, including drivers texting behind the wheel. If you were hit by a car through no fault of your own, no matter how it happened, our attorneys are ready to review your case for free.

What Are the Most Common Injuries After a Car Accident?

Car accidents can cause injuries ranging from minor to life-changing. Some of the most common injuries we see include whiplash, which often leads to lingering neck and back pain long after the crash; concussions and other head injuries, which don't always show symptoms right away; and soft tissue and joint damage that limits mobility and requires ongoing physical therapy. Even a low-speed collision can leave you with painful, long-term injuries that affect your ability to work and enjoy daily life. Our attorneys work with medical providers to fully document your injuries, including the ones that aren't immediately obvious, so your settlement reflects the true cost of your recovery, both now and in the future.

How Do I Get My Medical Bills Paid?

Medical bills after a car accident are typically covered through a combination of sources. Your health insurance may cover initial treatment. In Oklahoma, if the at-fault driver had liability insurance, your medical costs should be part of your settlement. You may also have Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Medical Payments coverage through your own auto policy. Our attorneys work to account for every medical expense, including past, present, and future costs, when negotiating your settlement.

Who Pays for My Missed Time from Work?

Lost wages are part of the compensation you can recover in an Oklahoma car accident claim. If you missed work because of your injuries, we document your lost income and include it in your claim against the at-fault driver's insurance. This includes time missed for doctor appointments, surgery, and recovery. If your injuries prevent you from returning to your current job, we also pursue compensation for reduced earning capacity.

How Do I Figure Out Who Was at Fault for the Accident?

Fault is established through police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, physical evidence at the scene, and accident reconstruction when necessary. Our attorneys investigate thoroughly, interviewing witnesses, requesting dash cam and surveillance footage, and working with experts when needed. Oklahoma follows a comparative fault rule, which means both parties can share responsibility. We work to establish the clearest possible picture of what happened.

Can I Still Recover Money If I Was Partially at Fault?

Yes, in many cases you can. Oklahoma follows a modified comparative fault system. As long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident, you are entitled to recover compensation. Your award is reduced in proportion to your share of the fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault, your compensation is reduced by 20%. Don't assume partial fault disqualifies you. Call us first.

Should I Accept the Insurance Company's First Offer?

Almost never. Insurance companies routinely start with lowball offers, counting on accident victims to accept before they understand the full value of their claim. Once you accept a settlement and sign a release, you generally cannot go back for more, even if your injuries turn out to be worse than expected. Our attorneys review every offer and will tell you honestly whether it reflects fair compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.

Why Should I Hire a Lawyer to Handle My Car Accident?

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers whose job is to pay you as little as possible. Having an experienced car accident attorney evens the playing field. Our attorneys handle the investigation, the paperwork, the negotiations, and any litigation so you can focus on recovering. And because we work on contingency, there are no upfront costs. We don't get paid unless you do.
