How Does A Car Accident Case Work?
Oklahoma is a modified comparative negligence state, meaning that fault is assigned based on the percentage of responsibility each party holds for the accident. If a party is found to be less than 50% at fault, they may still recover damages, adjusted in proportion to their degree of fault.
Insurance companies, naturally, play a major role in car accident claims. They do not want to pay claims and will look for ways to devalue your claim or imply that you are at least partially at fault for the accident or your own injuries.
Common Types Of Car Accident Injuries
Common types of car accident injuries include whiplash, fractures, concussions, spinal cord injuries, and soft tissue injuries like bruises and strains. These injuries can range from mild to severe and may require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
A successful Oklahoma car accident claim can recover damages such as:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
A Josh Lee & Associates attorney will pursue your claim for the maximum compensation available under the law, advocating fiercely on your behalf throughout the legal process.
