At Johnson & Biscone, P.A., our personal injury attorneys know the law. We understand how the courts in Oklahoma work. In the event that we can't reach a settlement that adequately compensates you for your injury, we will take your case to court, present your case before a jury, and argue for a verdict in your favor.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Oklahoma?
In Oklahoma, you typically have two years to file a personal injury claim from the date of the accident. This is known as the statute of limitations. Missing this deadline can result in losing the right to pursue compensation. It's important to act quickly to gather evidence and begin the legal process.
What Should I Do Immediately After Being Injured in an Accident?
Immediately after being injured in an accident, take the following steps:
- Prioritize your safety and seek medical attention
- Document the scene by taking photos or videos
- Gather contact information from witnesses
- Report the accident to the authorities or the relevant parties, such as your employer or property manager
- Keep detailed records of your medical treatment
Can I Still Recover Compensation if I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident?
If you are partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation under Oklahoma's "modified comparative fault" rule.
As long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident, you can receive compensation. However, your damages will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you.
For example, say you are found to be 20% at fault. In that case, your total compensation will be reduced by 20%.
Can I File a Personal Injury Claim if I Was Injured in a Recreational Accident, Like on a Boat or ATV?
Yes, you can file a personal injury claim if you were injured in a recreational accident involving a boat or ATV. These cases often fall under personal injury law and may involve negligence, defective equipment, or unsafe conditions.
You will need to prove that another party's negligence caused your injury. For example, the boat operator may have been reckless, or perhaps the ATV was not properly maintained. It's important to consult with a personal injury attorney to review the specific details of your case and determine your legal options.
What Types of Evidence Should I Collect for My Personal Injury Case?
To build a solid personal injury case, you'll need to gather evidence such as:
- Medical records
- Photos or videos of the accident scene
- Witness statements
- Police reports
- Any correspondence with insurance companies
Keeping a personal journal detailing how the injury affects your daily life can also support claims for non-economic damages, including pain and suffering.
How Is Pain and Suffering Calculated in Oklahoma?
In Oklahoma, pain and suffering are typically calculated based on two methods:
- The "Multiplier Method": The multiplier method involves multiplying your actual damages (like medical bills) by a number (usually between 1.5 and 5) that reflects the severity of your injury.
- The "Per Diem Method": The per diem method assigns a daily dollar amount to your pain and suffering and multiplies that by the number of days you've been affected.
What Happens if the At-Fault Party Is Uninsured or Underinsured?
If the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured, you may still recover compensation through your own insurance policy if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This type of coverage can help pay for your medical bills and other expenses when the responsible party cannot cover the damages.
If you do not have UM/UIM coverage, you may need to explore other legal options, such as pursuing a personal judgment against the at-fault party, although this can be more challenging. It's essential to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney – like those at Johnson & Biscone – to explore your options in these situations.
