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 car 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 car 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.

Oklahoma Car Accident Statistics

Common types of car accidents 

  • Distracted driving: When a motorist is using their cell phone, eating, or fiddling with the radio, they may fail to notice hazards or drift off the roadway. This can lead to rollovers or rear-end collisions. 
  • Driving under the influence: Alcohol, illicit drugs, and prescription drugs can all impair a driver’s ability to operate their vehicle safely. 
  • Running red lights and stop signs: The desire to “beat the light” can lead to t-bone accidents or collisions with pedestrians. 
  • Improper passing: Illegal passing on two-lane highways can lead to head-on collisions.

  • In 2021, there were 762 fatalities and 2094 serious injuries in Oklahoma car crashes.

Oklahoma Car Accident Laws

Comparative Negligence

Oklahoma has a 50-percent rule for seeking punitive damages. Oklahoma law states that a person can seek damages if they are 49% or less responsible for the crash.

What should I do after an accident? 

Protecting yourself and your right to an insurance claim is essential, even if you are not the at-fault party in an accident. What you say and do after the crash can impact your potential settlement. 

If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident, take the following actions: 

  • Move your car to safety, preferably to the shoulder of the road or a nearby parking lot. 
  • Check for injuries—if anyone is seriously injured, dial 911. 
  • If there are no serious injuries, use the local non-emergency line and ask for an officer to be dispatched to the scene to file a police report. 
  • Exchange contact information and insurance information with the other party. 
  • After leaving the scene, seek medical attention, as you may have hidden injuries. 
  • Notify your car insurance company of the accident, even if you are not at fault.
  • Consider contacting an auto accident attorney to explore your legal options.

What damages can I seek in a personal injury lawsuit?

  • Medical bills 
  • Lost wages and loss of future earnings 
  • Pain and suffering, and emotional distress 
  • Property damage 
  • Future medical care, such as physical therapy 
  • Funeral and burial expenses (in the case of wrongful death)
