Personal Injury FAQ — Oklahoma City Attorney
If you are searching for answers from a personal injury attorney Oklahoma City residents trust, Warhawk Legal’s Joe Carson has compiled answers to the most common questions injury victims ask.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM IN OKLAHOMA CITY?
Oklahoma’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of your injury. If a government entity is involved you may have as little as one year. Contact Warhawk Legal immediately after your injury to protect your rights. Learn more at warhawklegal.com/personal-injury.
HOW MUCH DOES A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY COST IN OKLAHOMA CITY?
At Warhawk Legal we work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. Your free consultation is always at no charge and we only get paid when we recover compensation for you.
WHAT IS MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE WORTH IN OKLAHOMA?
Every case is different. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the available insurance coverage. Joe Carson will give you an honest assessment during your free consultation.
DO I NEED A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY FOR A MINOR ACCIDENT IN OKLAHOMA CITY?
Even in cases that seem minor an attorney can make a significant difference. Insurance companies have teams working to minimize your claim. Having an experienced personal injury attorney Oklahoma City residents trust levels the playing field. The consultation is always free so there is no reason not to call.
HOW LONG DOES A PERSONAL INJURY CASE TAKE IN OKLAHOMA?
Most personal injury cases settle within 6 to 18 months. Cases that go to trial can take longer. Warhawk Legal works to resolve cases as efficiently as possible without sacrificing maximum compensation for our clients.
WHAT IF THE ACCIDENT WAS PARTLY MY FAULT IN OKLAHOMA?
Oklahoma follows a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you are less than 51 percent at fault you can still recover compensation. Your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies routinely try to assign fault to injury victims — Warhawk Legal fights back against these tactics aggressively. You can read more about Oklahoma’s comparative fault rules at the Oklahoma statutes website.
SHOULD I ACCEPT THE INSURANCE COMPANY’S FIRST SETTLEMENT OFFER?
Almost never. Initial settlement offers are designed to close your claim quickly before the full extent of your injuries is known. Once you accept a settlement and sign a release you cannot seek additional compensation even if your condition worsens. Never accept any offer without first consulting Warhawk Legal.
WHAT IF THE OTHER DRIVER DOES NOT HAVE INSURANCE?
Oklahoma requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may apply. Warhawk Legal helps identify every available source of compensation.
WHAT TYPES OF CASES DOES WARHAWK LEGAL HANDLE?
