Car Accident Law In Oklahoma
Typically, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. It is better not to wait this long, however, because it will be more difficult to get evidence and witness statements.
Oklahoma is an at-fault car accident state. This means that the at-fault party is responsible for compensating the other party for medical costs, lost income, bodily injury, and pain and suffering. It is the at-fault party’s insurance carrier that will provide this compensation, but they will not pay it willingly. Insurance companies are notorious for denying, delaying or undervaluing claims, but I have the experience to get the damages you are entitled to receive.
The state also uses a modified comparative negligence system when determining fault. If your share of fault is greater than the other party’s, you will not be able to recover compensation.
