Car Accident Laws in Oklahoma

Understanding Oklahoma’s accident laws is crucial for protecting your right to compensation. Here are the key rules that may affect your claim:

Modified Comparative Negligence

Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the crash. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies may try to exaggerate your share of blame—your attorney can fight back with evidence.

Statute of Limitations

You typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Oklahoma. Missing this deadline means losing your right to compensation entirely, so it’s important to speak with an Oklahoma City car accident lawyer as soon as possible.

Mandatory Insurance Requirements

Oklahoma drivers must carry minimum liability coverage of:

• $25,000 for bodily injury per person
• $50,000 for bodily injury per accident
• $25,000 for property damage

Unfortunately, many drivers carry only the minimum—or have no insurance at all. If you were hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, we can help explore additional coverage options such as UM/UIM.

Where Do Crashes Often Happen in OKC?

Oklahoma City is home to busy highways, heavy commuter traffic, and rapidly growing suburbs—conditions that often lead to collisions. Some of the most accident-prone areas include:

Major Highways

• I-35
• I-40
• I-44
• Kilpatrick Turnpike
• Lake Hefner Parkway

High-speed travel coupled with congestion makes these roadways hotspots for severe crashes.

Busy Intersections

Intersections throughout OKC commonly see rear-end, T-bone, and turning accidents. Notable high-risk intersections include:

• N May Ave & NW Expressway
• I-240 & S Santa Fe Ave
• Memorial Rd & Pennsylvania Ave

Urban & Downtown Areas

Pedestrian-heavy neighborhoods such as Bricktown, Midtown, and Automobile Alley also see frequent crashes involving vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Wherever your accident occurred, our team can investigate the scene, gather evidence, and build a strong claim on your behalf.

What Damages Are Available in an Oklahoma City Car Accident Claim?

After a car crash, you may find yourself facing a number of new, unexpected challenges. Depending on the nature and severity of your injuries, you could need emergency medical care and/or ongoing treatment. The financial burden can be significant, especially if your injury affects your ability to earn a living. 

You may find yourself unable to work for weeks or even months as you heal. If your injuries are disabling, they may even prevent you from returning to work at full capacity (or at all) indefinitely. And, of course, suffering through such an ordeal can leave lasting emotional scars and significant trauma. 

At Martin, Jean, Jackson, Martin & Peach, we can assist you in seeking maximum compensation for all of your damages, including but not limited to:

The cost of all medical treatment related to the accident, such as:

• Emergency transportation/care
• Ongoing medical treatment
• Physical rehabilitative therapy
• Medications/pain management
• Medical equipment (wheelchairs, prosthetics, etc.)

Lost income associated with the accident, including:

• Lost wages from time taken off work to heal/seek treatment
• Lost future earnings if you are unable to return to work
• Reduced earning capacity if your injuries are partially or totally disabling
• Lost benefits, including future benefits
• Property damage, including the cost of vehicle repairs
• Modifications to your home to accommodate your injuries/treatment
• The cost of treatment for mental/emotional conditions associated with the accident

Non-economic damages, meaning those without a definable price tag, such as:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Trauma
• Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other conditions

• Eyewitness interviews: People who witnessed your crash could have the best information about what happened. Allow us to interview them for you.

• Filing the claim: After all investigations and calculations are completed, it will be time to create your claim and file it. 
• Respond to inquiries: The opposition will certainly ask you for more information about your claim, or they might even reject it outright. Part of our job as your lawyers will be to respond to their inquiries and challenges. 
• Negotiation: Settlement negotiations with auto insurance companies can be difficult and frustrating. Leave them up to us, so you don’t need to worry. 
• Litigation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, then it will be time to move to litigation. Our car accident attorneys can prepare your claim for trial and represent you before the court. 

Car Accident Claim FAQs

How long will my car accident case take?

The timeline varies depending on injuries, insurance delays, and whether litigation is needed. Some cases settle in months, while others require more time.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

Not without legal representation. Anything you say can be used to minimize your payout.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

You may still recover compensation through UM/UIM coverage or other legal avenues.

Do I need an attorney for a minor accident?

Even minor collisions can lead to complicated injuries and disputes over fault. Consulting an attorney is always wise.
