Oklahoma Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

The Advocates are here to help after a motorcycle accident, whether in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Edmond, or elsewhere in Oklahoma.

A Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help You 

We love motorcycles. Few things feel as good as the freedom you feel on a bike. Motorcycle riders are also at greater risk than other motorists. Between distracted driving, potholes, and just generally negligent drivers, it’s potentially rough out there for bikers. 

Motorcyclists can be left with constantly growing medical expenses, the significant stress on both the biker and their loved ones that comes with substantial medical care, and the general uncertainty that comes after an accident.

The Advocates are here to help with your motorcycle accident claim. Our Oklahoma motorcycle accident lawyers have years of experience that we combine with an empathy-based approach to attorney-client relationships to make the legal process as stress-free as we can for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

You will pay nothing out-of-pocket when you hire an Advocate.  

Your initial consultation with us is always 100% free. There are never any upfront costs or hidden fees.  

Our attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means that our attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement. We do not get paid unless we win your case, and you receive a settlement.  

For more information on how settlements and payment work, please see our contingency fee information page.

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 attorney will gather evidence, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary.

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.

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 several years. It is 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 attorney 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.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents 

  • Speeding: You have less time to react at high speeds, so it’s essential to consider the conditions to determine the speed you should go. 
  • Impaired driving: Whether from alcohol or medications, impairment is unsafe when operating a vehicle. 
  • Failure to see the motorcyclist: Drivers should always pay attention, and motorcyclists should consider wearing high-visibility clothing to be seen more easily to avoid a car accident.
  • Failure to give motorcyclists appropriate space: Motorcycles should be given the same space any other vehicle would take.

Oklahoma Motorcycle Laws

Oklahoma Equipment Laws

Riders under 18 are required to wear a helmet, but helmets are otherwise optional for adults in Oklahoma. Everyone should wear a helmet, even if not required by law. A helmet dramatically reduces your risk of death in an accident.

Oklahoma Lane Laws

Lane splitting and lane filtering are illegal in Oklahoma. The only lane law in Oklahoma that applies specifically to motorcyclists is an allowance for two bikers to share a single lane.
