How Can A Norman Personal Injury Lawyer Help Me?
If you continue to work with a personal injury lawyer in Norman, that team can help with more than just representing you in court.
Here’s what your lawyer can do for you:
- Collect and manage evidence. Often, the documentation required to win a legal case against a third party can be daunting and overwhelming. However, you no longer have to face this alone with a lawyer by your side. Your legal team can assist with managing photos, videos, surveillance footage, police reports, documents, and more. This can include conducting interviews with eyewitnesses.
- Monitor deadlines. Oklahoma’s statute of limitations governing most personal injuries is two years from the incident.According to 76 OK Stat § 5.5 (2022), “Any claim filed herein shall be filed within two (2) years of the date of injury, death or damage to property, or, if applicable, within one (1) year of the date of a final adjudication on any legal action taken by the claimant against any person responsible for the injury, death or damage to property, or be barred by limitations from recovery.”
A good personal injury lawyer will know all your case’s relevant deadlines and statutes and will be able to advise you accordingly.
- Negotiate with insurance companies. A skilled lawyer can be the go-between for you and an insurance company. As insurance companies are for-profit organizations, insurers are motivated to give you the least possible amount for your claim. Like those at Warhawk Legal, a great lawyer knows all the common insurance tactics utilized to undervalue your claim.
- Represent you in court. A good lawyer will represent you in court proceedings if negotiations and settlement discussions fall through. At Warhawk Legal, we’re never afraid to take your case to court, protecting your rights and interests.
How Do I Know If My Injuries Could Necessitate Compensation?
What separates a personal injury case from other forms of injury is the involvement of a third party as the direct or indirect cause of your injuries. Examples of third parties include:
- Other Individuals
- Companies
- Governmental Agencies
- Organizations
To prove that your injuries would yield compensation from a third party, you would have to demonstrate that they owed you a duty of care, and that care was breached, thus resulting in harm and injuries to you.
For example, if you backed your car into a light pole and you were injured, you likely wouldn’t have a case as you were directly responsible for your own damages. However, if a driver of another vehicle hit you, you hit the light pole and were injured as a result, you could have a personal injury case.
What Are Common Examples Of Personal Injury Cases In Norman?
Many situations could yield a personal injury case. Here are a few examples of the types of circumstances that could cause legal action:
- Car Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Bus Accidents
- Bicycle Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Uber/Lyft Accidents
- Premises Liability Accidents
What Are Common Injuries Stemming From Negligence?
Physical harm is very common in most Norman personal injury cases. Examples of common physical injuries stemming from another’s negligent behavior include:
- Bruises, Contusions, Internal Bleeding
- Soft Tissue Injuries
- Cracked or Broken Bones
- Crushed Limbs
- Herniated Disks
- Concussion or Whiplash
- Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Burns
Additionally, many physical injuries yield mental health issues as well. Common mental and emotional problems stemming from personal injuries include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other forms of emotional distress.
Finally, if the victim dies as the result of their injuries, that could also yield a Norman wrongful death case. If the case is successfully concluded, it can help pay for the funeral and burial expenses of the deceased.
At Warhawk Legal, our Norman car accident attorneys are always compassionate to Norman personal injury victims and seek to do what we can to improve your life after it was so unfairly upended.
