First, go see a doctor as soon as possible after an accident. Even if you feel fine, you could have a serious injury that rears its ugly head later, so get medical records of your immediate post-accident condition. You should also whip out that smartphone (if you’re able) and take photos and videos of the scene. Finally, do not admit fault. There are a lot of factors that contribute to accidents and you don’t want a statement you made in good faith to come back to bite you.

We’ll tell you. You provide us with all the details and documents relating to the injury or fatality, and we determine if filing a lawsuit is the right step.

The State of Oklahoma has a two-year time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit. The clock starts ticking on the date of your accident or injury.

Hang up. Or tell them to call your attorney. Bottom line—zip your lips unless you’re talking to your own attorney or insurance company.

Nothing upfront. Almost all personal injury lawyers, including us, work on “contingency.” That means we cover all fees and don’t get paid unless we win your lawsuit. We take a percentage of any award or settlement you receive.

The award or settlement amount can vary widely. It will depend on the circumstances surrounding the accident, the type of injury or fatality, degrees of fault, and even personal health history.

Most personal injury lawsuits never go to trial. They are usually settled out of court because it is easier and more affordable for insurers to make you a fair offer, earlier in the process. That being said, if you have a complex case and are asking for a lot of damages, a trial could happen.

The length of time to file and settle a suit varies widely, depending on the details of your case, extent of your injuries, and amount of money at stake. As a general rule of thumb, plan on months for a simple case, and a year or more for a complicated case.
