Oklahoma is a Fault State

When it comes to car accident laws, Oklahoma is what is known as a fault state. This means that after an accident the party responsible for the accident is the one held liable to pay damages, or more likely the insurance company of the responsible party is held liable. In a fault state, an injury victim has the option to file a third-party personal injury claim against the negligent driver, whereas in a no-fault state there are many more stipulations in order to do so.

Car Accident Laws in Oklahoma

The statute of limitations to file a car accident claim in Oklahoma is two years. This means that you have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim or you may lose your right to compensation. Additionally, Oklahoma follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule.

This rule states that you are still eligible to receive compensation if you were at fault for the accident that led t your injuries as long as your share of the fault is less then the other parties. A modified comparative negligence rule also means that your total compensation amount will be reduced by the percentage of fault you are determined to be responsible for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents

• Should you take pictures of your car accident?
  Yes, you should photograph your car accident as much as possible using your smartphone with the timestamp setting turned on. Pictures are often the most convincing evidence of damage, which makes it more difficult for insurance companies to try to pass a lowball settlement as “fair.” You will want to photograph all injuries, damage to vehicles, traffic conditions, road signs, and the weather if it could have been a factor in the crash.
• Can you get money if you’re hit by an uninsured driver?
  Yes, you might still be able to receive compensation after being hit by a driver without insurance if you have purchased an uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy from your auto insurance company. When using UM insurance, coverage is provided by your insurer, not that of the other driver, which means you could go head-to-head with your insurance adjuster if they don’t want to give you a fair coverage amount. UM insurance can also work if you’re hurt by a hit-and-run driver.
• Is a car accident claim invalid if you’re partially at fault?
  Oklahoma uses a modified comparative fault law that allows you to pursue compensation from another driver if you were partially at fault for the accident, but only if your fault remains at 50% or below. If you are determined to be 51% at fault, then your ability to recover compensation from the other driver will be removed.
• What is your car accident claim worth?
  The value of your car accident claim will depend on how badly you were injured, how much damage was done to your car, and how much income you are losing while being unable to work. Also, the emotional trauma and physical pain you have experienced due to the crash can increase the claim’s worth. With everything considered, no two car accident claims will have the exact same value, so predicting your claim’s worth at the start of a case is essentially impossible.
