Frequently Asked Questions
If you're searching for a personal injury attorney near you in Elk City or Beckham County, look for a lawyer with trial experience, local knowledge, and a contingency fee structure. Addison Law Firm regularly appears in Beckham County District Court and knows the local legal landscape.
Not necessarily. If your injury was caused by a faulty tool, a third-party contractor, or a delivery driver, you may have a 'third-party claim' that pays much more than workers' comp.
Since the accident happened in Beckham County, you can usually file suit here. This is often advantageous because local juries understand the value of hard work and the cost of losing your health.
Yes. We frequently travel to Western Oklahoma to meet with clients and visit accident scenes. We can also meet virtually if that's easier for you.
We fight for 'loss of earning capacity.' In the oil & gas industry, this can be millions of dollars in future wages. We hire economists to calculate exactly what you are owed.
Possibly. Under Oklahoma law (36 O.S. § 3629), insurers must deal fairly with policyholders. If your claim was unreasonably denied or delayed, you may sue for bad faith and recover punitive damages.
