Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Broken Arrow

We handle a range of injury cases for clients in Broken Arrow, OK and throughout Tulsa County.

• Car accidents. These make up the majority of our caseload. We deal with rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, head-on collisions, and multi-vehicle pileups. Insurance adjusters often try to shift blame or minimize injuries—we push back. Many injury victims don’t realize common mistakes can hurt claims if they’re not careful early on.
• Truck accidents. Commercial trucking cases involve federal regulations, electronic logging data, and multiple potentially liable parties. Our attorneys investigate the trucking company, driver history, and maintenance records. We’ve recovered over $2 million in semi-truck cases and understand why these cases differ from standard auto claims.
• Motorcycle accidents. Our largest single recovery—$2.1 million—came from a motorcycle crash. Riders face unique challenges because insurance companies and juries sometimes hold bias against riders. We know how to counter those assumptions with evidence.
• Slip and fall accidents. Property owners in Oklahoma have a duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail—wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting—and someone gets hurt, liability questions arise. We’ve recovered $150,000 in slip and fall cases and $200,000 in trip and fall cases.
• Pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians have almost no protection when struck by vehicles. Injuries tend to be severe—broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage. We work with medical experts and accident reconstructionists to document the full extent of harm.
• Wrongful death. When someone dies because of another party’s negligence, surviving family members may have a claim for wrongful death. These cases require sensitivity and thorough legal work. We handle both.

Understanding Personal Injury Law for Broken Arrow

Oklahoma law gives injury victims a limited time to file a lawsuit. Under Oklahoma Statutes Title 12, Section 95, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Miss that deadline, and you lose your right to compensation entirely. Courts enforce this strictly.

Oklahoma also follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Title 23 of Oklahoma law states that your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re found 20% at fault in a car accident, your recovery is reduced by 20%. But if you’re found more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters know this and often try to shift as much blame as possible onto the injured person.

For example: You’re injured at an intersection in Broken Arrow when another driver runs a red light. The jury awards $100,000 but finds you 10% at fault for speeding. Your recovery drops to $90,000. Having an injury attorney who can counter these blame-shifting tactics matters. You can review Oklahoma civil court procedures through the Oklahoma State Courts Network and access the full Oklahoma statutory code for reference. According to NHTSA traffic safety reports, motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of serious injury nationwide—and Oklahoma is no exception.
