Car Accidents Attorneys

Being injured in a car accident can be a traumatic experience, and for some people, life-changing. Even moderate injuries can require surgery, hospital stays, physical therapy and time
away from work, and severe injuries can lead to permanent disability. When an accident is not
your fault, under the law you are eligible for financial compensation. Talking to a lawyer about
your right after a car accident means you will have all of the information needed a
bout your options when it comes to claiming damages from the guilty party and their insurance company

When involved in a car accident, the best outcome is for all drivers and passengers to come out
of it with no injuries. If the only result of your car accident was damage to your car and other property, and you are able to make a straightforward claim to the at-fault party’s insurance company, then you don’t need a lawyer. However, when the insurance company makes a settlement offer, it is a good idea to have a lawyer read through it to make sure you are receiving all of the damages you are eligible for.

Yes. When your injuries are caused by another driver’s negligence, you are eligible for
compensation for lost income. You may lose income by missing days of work while recovering
from your injuries, or needing additional time off for going to follow-up doctor’s appointments or
physical therapy. If your injuries are severe enough, you may be unable to go back to performing your normal work duties, or suffer a disability making you unable to work at all. The
team at Graves McLain will negotiate a settlement to compensate you for the income lost due to your injuries from the car accident.

Yes. Pain and suffering is also referred to as non-economic damages, and include the experience of physical pain experienced due to your injuries. It also includes the detrimental effects on your mental state, such as depression, PTSD, or mental anguish. A car accident can be an incredibly stressful experience. Damages for pain and suffering help make the future easier, by providing financial compensation for experiences that aren’t reflected in your medical bills. In Oklahoma, a personal injury victim can receive up to $350,000 in damages.

Our team will do a thorough investigation to establish if the at-fault party is truthful about their insurance coverage. In case the other party is not forthcoming about having insurance, we will pursue your claim with their insurance company. If they are uninsured, we can pursue a claim against their assets, or a claim with your uninsured motorist insurance policy and ensure you receive all of the damages you are eligible for.
