Do You Need to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Some accident victims wonder whether they need to hire a personal injury attorney to help them with their claim for compensation. When they’ve incurred high medical bills and are expecting to be out of work for a while, it can be tempting to settle with the insurer as quickly as possible.

While no law states that you have to hire an injury lawyer, it’s important to understand that the insurer is not interested in offering you full and fair compensation. Insurance companies stay in business by reducing payouts as much as possible. It may also take time to realize the extent of your injuries- if you accept a settlement now, you can’t ask for more money later if your symptoms worsen.

An experienced lawyer at the right law firm will ensure that you receive the care and support you need. They will gather key information like medical records, accident reports, and pay stubs, use this information to help value your claim, and file it before Oklahoma’s two-year statute of limitations expires. Once this is done, they can start negotiating a settlement with the insurer. Should a fair offer not be forthcoming, a personal injury lawyer in Oklahoma City can take your case to court and aggressively litigate for the outcome you need.

What is My Injury Case Worth?

Every case is different, so there is no average settlement amount. How much you receive will largely depend on the severity of your injuries, how they are expected to impact your life, and whether you share any blame for the accident.

There are two primary types of damages awarded in Oklahoma personal injury claims:

  • Economic Damages: Financial compensation for relevant, quantifiable expenses, such as medical bills, property damage, and loss of income or earning potential. Under Oklahoma law, there is no limit on the amount of economic damages that can be awarded in a personal injury lawsuit.
  • Non-Economic Damages: Intended to address subjective (non-quantifiable) consequences, such as emotional distress, mental anguish, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

A jury could also award punitive damages if they find that the party who caused your accident has been particularly negligent. In Oklahoma, these damages are capped at $100,000, or the amount of your actual damages, whichever is greater.

Pursuing Compensation in Oklahoma City Personal Injury Cases

If you are injured in a situation where you are less than 50 percent at fault, you may be able to file a personal injury claim. In Oklahoma City, a successful personal injury claim may allow you to collect damages in the form of financial compensation. There are two types of damages in Oklahoma personal injury claims:

  • Noneconomic damages: Intended to address subjective (non-quantifiable) consequences, such as emotional distress, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment.
  • Economic damages: Financial compensation for relevant, quantifiable expenses, such as medical bills, property damage, and loss of income or earning potential.

Under Oklahoma law, there is no limit on the amount of economic damages that can be awarded in a personal injury lawsuit.

Oklahoma City Car Accident Lawyers

According to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, 762 people were killed in traffic accidents in the state in 2021. Thousands more suffered serious injuries. The most common causes of car accidents include:

  • DUI: Drinking and using drugs can impair a motorist’s ability to drive safely and respond to hazards on the road.
  • Distracted Driving: Examples of distracted driver behaviors include texting, surfing the web, using the GPS, and other actions that take the driver’s attention off the road.
  • Speeding: Automotive accidents may occur if a driver exceeds the speed limit or drives too fast for the current road conditions.
  • Aggressive or Reckless Driving: Running red lights, weaving in and out of traffic, and exhibiting road rage are all examples of reckless and aggressive behavior.
  • Fatigued Driving: The effects of driving while tired are similar to those of driving under the influence and can lead to devastating accidents.
  • Ignoring Traffic Signs and Signals: To ensure safe and efficient traffic flow, stoplights, stop signs, and crosswalk signals must be obeyed. Failure to do so has not only resulted in car crashes, but motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and bicycle accidents.

Too many drivers exhibit dangerous driving behaviors that can cause injury to people in other vehicles. If another driver was responsible for your accident, Carr & Carr can help you pursue compensation from them. 

Truck Accident Lawyers

Due to their massive size and weight, commercial trucks are some of the most dangerous vehicles on roadways. For this reason, failure to operate these vehicles with appropriate care and caution can result in a devastating accident. At Carr & Carr, we have the experience necessary to represent clients in cases involving:

  • Driver error due to DUI, fatigued driving, speeding, and more
  • Negligent hiring practices on the part of the trucking company
  • Hours of service violations
  • Failure to inspect and maintain vehicles
  • Improper loading
  • Truck malfunction due to defective brakes, faulty tires, insufficient underride protection, and more

Truck accident claims can be difficult due to the complex industry rules involved. If you or someone you love has been injured in a truck accident, we can help you take action. Get in touch with the caring legal professionals at Carr & Carr today to discuss the possibility of filing an injury claim.

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

Compared to the occupants of passenger vehicles, motorcyclists are unprotected. Even if they wear a helmet, a collision can result in a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, and other life-altering motorcycle accident injuries.

At Carr & Carr, we know how devastating a motorcycle crash can be for the rider. When someone else’s negligence caused the collision, you should not be responsible for covering your medical bills and rebuilding your life on your own. Let us help you hold the at-fault party accountable and secure the money you need to get your life back on track.

Premises Liability Lawyers

It is the responsibility of property owners to ensure that guests are not harmed by unsafe conditions on their property. Since they own these establishments, they need to be aware of the potential dangers that visitors may encounter and address them before any harm occurs. 

Sadly, this responsibility is not always met, leading to potentially dangerous accidents and serious injuries. Examples of negligent actions or omissions include:

  • Poor maintenance practices
  • Loose or bunched-up mats, carpets, or rugs
  • Staircases with damaged steps and/or missing steps
  • Uneven or cracked sidewalks
  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Negligent security

Over the last five decades, our skilled and compassionate attorneys have helped countless injury victims achieve results. If you have been injured on someone else’s property, we will investigate thoroughly and determine whether you are entitled to compensation.

Wrongful Death Lawyers

The loss of a beloved family member is one of the most painful experiences in life. Besides the emotional support and companionship that a deceased loved one may have provided, there are many instances in which a family may have depended on him or her financially. In this case, immediate family members may be able to get financial compensation to cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and other costs associated with this tragedy.

Oklahoma’s wrongful death laws can be complicated, so you should hire an Oklahoma City personal injury lawyer for help with your claim during this difficult time. The team at Carr & Carr has the resources, legal experience, and determination needed to hold a negligent party responsible for your loss.

Determining Fault in Oklahoma City

If you’re thinking of pursuing a personal injury case, it’s essential to understand how liability works under Oklahoma law. The state observes a modified comparative fault law, which means that a victim may be found to be partially at fault for their injury. 

For example, if a person is injured after falling into a hole at a construction site, they may be partially liable if they ignored visible warning signs pointing out the danger. Each party involved in the situation is generally assigned a percentage of liability. A party who is more than 50% liable may not collect compensation.

Modified comparative fault laws often come into play after car accidents that involve multiple vehicles. For example, if there is a collision between two cars where one driver was speeding but the other ignored a stop sign, each person will probably be assigned some percentage of fault for the accident.

Oklahoma’s comparative fault laws often make it very difficult to understand liability in a personal injury case. A highly qualified personal injury attorney can help victims understand how the state’s fault laws apply to their cases.
