Automotive accidents

If you’ve recently been through the traumatic experience of a car accident, it’s crucial to have an experienced auto accident attorney in Tulsa on your side to help navigate the legal system and mitigate any additional emotional anguish. Here at The Edwards Law Firm, we have decades of legal experience, and unlike other attorneys, we do not charge upfront fees.

Important things to note about the filing time limits in Oklahoma:

  • There is a two-year statute of limitations, and this means, as a victim of an automobile accident, you have two years from the date of the original accident to file a lawsuit.  
  • Many car insurance companies have filing deadlines on insurance claims.

When a lawsuit is filed claiming compensation for injuries or property damage, fault clearly needs to be established with as much evidence as possible, including photos, witnesses, and any supporting documents that help your claim.

Truck accidents  

The trucks we’re referencing are 18-wheelers/tractor trailers, delivery vehicles, garbage trucks, flatbeds, and livestock haulers. If you’ve been involved in a collision with a semi-truck, similar steps to an auto accident need to be taken. Our truck accident attorneys in Tulsa have handled plenty of these cases over the years. Common causes of a truck accident arise from driver fatigue, speeding, driving under the influence of illegal substances, and defective equipment, among other causes.

Always remember that fault has to be established to file for compensation. You’ll need to be able to prove the negligence of the other motorist, along with any injuries sustained from the accident. Again, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. You can seek financial compensation for the following:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical and outpatient treatment
  • Loss of job performance capabilities
  • Lost wages
  • Property damage

Motorcycle accidents

It was reported by the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office that over 1,700 accidents involved motorcyclists, and 77 percent of riders are injured in collisions. Riding a motorcycle increases your odds of an accident and puts riders at a disadvantage because of their exposure. If you’re involved in a motorcycle accident, oftentimes severe injuries occur as a result of a distracted and unaware driver — make sure you have a reliable motorcycle accident lawyer in these cases.
