Rear-Ended? Don't Let Injuries Sneak Up on You.

Usually, but not always. Oklahoma follows a 'modified comparative negligence' rule. If the front driver made a sudden illegal lane change, had broken brake lights, or 'brake-checked' you, they may share fault. However, even if you're partially at fault, you can still recover as long as you're less than 51% responsible. We investigate thoroughly to establish liability.

Whiplash occurs when your head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, straining the neck's soft tissues. Symptoms—pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness—often don't appear for days. Untreated, whiplash can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and long-term disability. We ensure you get proper medical documentation for your claim.

Always seek medical attention. Soft tissue injuries, concussions, and spinal damage may not show symptoms immediately due to adrenaline and inflammation delays. Medical records from the days following your accident are critical evidence. Waiting too long to see a doctor gives insurance companies ammunition to claim you weren't really hurt.

You can recover medical expenses (emergency care, ongoing treatment, physical therapy), lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. If your injuries are permanent, we calculate future medical costs and lost earning capacity. Oklahoma has no cap on personal injury damages.

We gather police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and vehicle damage analysis. The position and extent of damage often tells the story. We also subpoena cell phone records to prove distraction. In multi-vehicle pileups, we use accident reconstruction experts to establish the chain of causation.

Your own underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage kicks in to cover the gap. We always advise clients to carry high UIM limits for exactly this situation. We also investigate whether other parties (employers, vehicle owners) may be liable to maximize your recovery.
