Not every accident requires an car accident lawyer. However, if the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex.
Your car accident lawyer will gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. Studies have shown that accident victims who hire a personal injury lawyer can receive settlements up to 3.5 times larger than if they settled on their own.
The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime. Once you have decided to hire an Advocate, we will investigate your accident to firmly establish liability.
Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to a few years. It’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.
When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your car accident lawyer will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive fair compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

Oklahoma is an at-fault state, meaning whoever causes the accident is financially responsible for the damages. However, who is responsible is rarely cut and dry, given that accidents are multi-faceted events involving self-interested humans who don’t want to take the blame even if they’re wrong.
This state uses a modified comparative negligence rule to dish out fault. With this rule, you can’t recover anything if you’re over 51% at-fault. If you’re less than 51% at-fault, you can bring forth an insurance claim, but it will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you’re 20% at fault and your settlement offer is $10,000, then you get $8,000.
According to Oklahoma Statute §12-95, you have two years to file an injury claim for an accident. This goes for all types of accidents, from car to pedestrian accidents.
