Why Warhawk Legal Is Edmond’s Choice For Personal Injuries
Whenever a reckless or negligent third party upends your life through their carelessness, you always have options.
One of the first things you should do is contact a trusted Edmond personal injury lawyer like those at Warhawk Legal.
Why choose us?
- We are fully committed to your case and recovering the compensation you deserve. Our passion for making this wrong right is what drives us to seek the maximum possible compensation in your claim, yielding settlements and jury verdicts in the millions. Other lawyers may call your case “unwinnable,” but that doesn’t stop us from fighting for you.
- We have an extensive understanding of the tactics and strategies insurance companies will try to utilize to pay you less. In a perfect world, an insurance company would be on your side. But often when the time comes for you to file a claim, this company may become a massive roadblock – and it’s all because they do not want to pay you what is rightfully yours. We know all the tricks in the book insurers will use to try to devalue your claim and know exactly the right evidence to maintain to win your case.
- Our award-winning lawyers have deep Oklahoma roots. All of our partners graduated with their J.D. from Oklahoma City University (OCU) School of Law, so we know the nuances of Oklahoma’s statutes and the culture of our great state.
What Should I Do If I’ve Experienced A Personal Injury?
While many facets of this question could change due to how your situation unfolded, some key principles stay the same, no matter what you experience.
Here are the core steps you need to do directly after your personal injury transpires.
- Get emergency medical attention at the scene. Call the police and get emergency medical professionals on the scene – even if you think you’re not seriously injured. First, it is impossible to tell at a glance how injured or uninjured you are (as many serious conditions aren’t always apparent). Second, this gives you a clear set of documentation in your case. A police report and your chart will only help you in the times to come.
- Document everything. If you are able, capture as much content as you can about the scene of the accident or ask a trusted loved one to do so. That means taking pictures and videos, as well as preserving damaged property and the clothes you were wearing.
- Contact a trusted legal partner. Almost all lawyers offer free, no-obligation case reviews. Starting the legal process in your case as soon as possible is paramount to its long-term success.
- Receive follow-up medical care. To further support your healing journey and your case, it’s best to continue seeing a medical professional and potentially even a mental health professional. This documentation will also provide evidentiary support for your case.
An experienced Edmond accident lawyer, like those at Warhawk Legal, would be able to help guide you throughout this process so that you know exactly what you need to do every step of the way.
