  • Oklahoma Injury Lawsuits Explained

    If you are researching what a personal injury lawsuit in Oklahoma entails, this section of our website is going to explain to you how a lawsuit works, how to determine negligence and how to obtain monetary reward commonly called a settlement. First, determine if there has been an injury. If there has been an injury like a broken bone, laceration, back injury or even a wrongful death and the injury was caused by the negligence or irresponsibility of another, there could be grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. Now that you have determined that there has been an injury caused by the negligence of another person or party, a personal injury attorney can be obtained to negotiate your personal injury claim for you. Our personal injury attorneys do not get paid unless they win your case, so don't be preoccupied with being able to afford to file a personal injury lawsuit in Oklahoma. Finally, your Oklahoma personal injury lawyer will determine what your personal injury case is worth. They will determine this by evaluating many factors including your hospital bills, your income, the severity of your injury.

  • Personal Injury Lawyer Fees

    Personal injury attorneys fee's work different than most other lawyers fee's. You do not need to pay anything in advance out of your pocket, so you can definitely afford to hire an Oklahoma personal injury attorney. A personal injury attorney gets paid a percentage of your lawsuit settlement. What that means is that if your lawyer doesn't win your case for you, your lawyer doesn't get paid.

    In Oklahoma, most injury attorneys charge a fee between 30% and 40% of your settlement. During your interview process with an attorney, they will inform you of the fee they normally charge. Fee's will fluctuate depending on the type of case. An Oklahoma personal injury attorney will charge a different percentage depending on the type of case.

  • Personal Injury Statute of Limitations

    Personal injury claims must be brought within two years in the State of Oklahoma. Further, under Oklahoma law, a minor has one year after his or her eighteenth birthday to file a personal injury claim.

    If the statute of limitations expires before a personal injury suit is brought, a claimant faces the possibility of having his or her case dismissed due to untimely submission. Therefore, it is critical to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible following a personal injury, to protect your legal rights and any compensation that is due.
