Auto Accidents

Being in a motor vehicle collision can be a very tense and stressful occasion for anyone. These wrecks are caused by the negligent actions of another driver that is either distracted, not giving their full time and attention to the road, reckless, fatigued, and drunk or even impaired. It is very important that the proper steps are taken to create a strong foundation for your claim. Please do the following:

• Contact the police. It is important for law enforcement to investigate the scene and detail the facts of the collision for the police report.
• Contact paramedics and/or ambulance if your injuries require you to be treated at the scene or transported to a hospital.
• If an ambulance is not required, seek immediate medical attention on your own. Even if you do not feel that you are injured or injured enough. It is common for someone to not experience the full effect of their injuries until much later due to adrenaline. By getting medical attention you have had an opportunity to document your initial injury or injuries, which will prove beneficial in your claim. 

It is important to let an attorney assist you in these claims against the negligent driver’s insurance carrier. This insurance company is not on your side; they are not for you. This insurance company is adversarial to you, they will try and minimize your injuries and attack you, the victim, as being in wrong.

Oklahoma’s Statute of Limitations for motor vehicle collisions is two years from the date of the accident. However, it is important that you do not delay in seeking the advice of an attorney. There are many caveats and pitfalls associated with these types of claims. Also, the liability insurance company is not for you. The liability insurance company is working to diminish the value of your claim from the very beginning and saving as much money as possible. The sooner you speak to an attorney concerning your claim, the sooner you will be provided with the best, most accurate, information. The stronger your case will be.
