Distracted Driving in Oklahoma

Distracted driving is ANY activity that diverts attention from driving…things like:

  • Composing, sending, or reading a text
  • Talking on the phone
  • Using an app on your phone
  • Eating food or drinking beverages
  • Fiddling with the stereo, heat or air conditioning, or navigation system
  • Talking to passengers in your car
  • Handling children or pets in the car

In a recent interview on Good Morning Tulsa, personal injury lawyer Michael Carr discussed what to do if you’re ever involved in an accident with a distracted driver.

“That’s what we do here, we represent people who have been injured by distracted drivers, and we work to make claims for them against the other driver’s insurance carrier,” explained Carr.

Firearm Safety With Michael Carr

Attorney Michael Carr joins Good Day Tulsa to talk about firearm safety and how gun owners can avoid negligent lawsuits.

From 2005 to 2010, nearly 3,800 people in the United States died from unintentional shootings. More than a third of the victims were younger than 25.

On average, people in all age groups are more likely to die from unintentional firearm injuries when they live in states with more guns.

The Dangerous Toys of 2020

Attorney Michael Carr joined a recent episode of Good Day Tulsa and talked about some of the 2020s most dangerous toys.

When you buy your child a toy, it’s reasonable to expect that the toy is safe for them to use.

In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) made the voluntary toy safety standard in effect at that time mandatory nationwide instead. 

Even with laws in place to protect children from dangerous toys, defective toys can still get into their hands and cause injuries.

If your child is injured by a dangerous toy, please place the toy in a safe space away from your child and contact us to schedule a free consultation.

Our personal injury lawyers in Tulsa, and Oklahoma City are dedicated to protecting the rights of injury victims across Oklahoma.

What Is Gap Insurance?

What is GAP insurance?

Car Key on an Insurance Policy

GAP Insurance stands for Guaranteed Asset Protection Insurance.

This is insurance that can be purchased at the time you buy an automobile. which provides you with protection in the event your vehicle is totaled out in an accident. It pays any additional difference that is owed between the actual cash value of the vehicle and the balance of your loan.

This is important coverage to consider when buying a vehicle since most vehicles depreciate in value faster than the loan is paid off. New cars lose value the moment they are driven off of the sales lot, 20-30% in the first year.
