Frequently Asked Questions
If you're searching for a personal injury attorney near you in Poteau or Le Flore County, look for a lawyer with trial experience, local knowledge, and a contingency fee structure. Addison Law Firm regularly appears in Le Flore County District Court and knows the local legal landscape.
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay $0 upfront. We only get paid a percentage of the settlement or verdict we win for you. If we don't recover money, you don't pay attorney's fees.
Workers' compensation typically bars direct lawsuits against employers, but you may have claims against third parties—equipment manufacturers, contractors, or property owners. We investigate all potential sources of recovery.
Oklahoma's statute of limitations is two years for most personal injury cases. However, cases against government entities have shorter deadlines. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
Oklahoma follows 'modified comparative negligence.' You can recover damages as long as you're less than 51% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage.
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.
