Led by Attorney Jonathan Jackson

Founder Jonathan Jackson played college football and earned his degree at the University of Oklahoma in Norman before a brief NFL career. He later clerked for a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, an experience that shapes the trial-ready approach our firm brings to every car accident claim. Known throughout the community as the Sneaker Lawyer, Jackson built JJ Law to treat every case, large or small, with the same level of care.

Oklahoma Car Accident Laws You Should Know

The At-Fault Rule

Oklahoma is an at-fault state. The driver who caused your accident is responsible for your damages, and recovering compensation means proving that driver's negligence.

Modified Comparative Negligence (23 O.S. § 13)

You can still recover damages if you were partly responsible for the crash, provided your fault is 50% or less. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, a $100,000 award reduced by 20% fault pays out at $80,000. Fault of 51% or more bars recovery entirely.

Statute of Limitations (12 O.S. § 95)

You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting longer than that will likely cost you your right to recover anything.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists

Oklahoma has one of the higher rates of uninsured drivers in the country. If you carry Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage, we can help you pursue a claim through your own policy when the at-fault driver has no coverage or not enough.

Damage Caps

For injuries occurring on or after September 1, 2025, Oklahoma generally limits noneconomic damages, including pain and suffering, to $500,000. The limit does not apply when the injured person suffered a permanent and severe physical injury or when clear and convincing evidence establishes reckless disregard, gross negligence, fraud, intentional conduct, or malice. 

A separate $1 million limit applies to certain permanent mental injuries that severely impair the person’s ability to work or maintain a reasonable standard of living. Economic damages, including medical expenses and lost income, are not capped under this statute.

Proving Fault: Car Accident Causes

Recovering compensation means showing the other driver breached a duty of care and caused the crash. We build that case with police reports, traffic and dashcam footage, cell phone records, event data recorder information, and witness statements. A citation issued at the scene can also support a negligence claim.

Common causes we investigate include:

• Distracted driving. Texting, GPS use, and other distractions on I-35 and Norman's surface streets remain a leading cause of rear-end and lane-departure crashes.
• Speeding. Higher speeds reduce reaction time and increase the severity of injuries.
• Impaired driving. Alcohol and drug impairment slows reaction time and judgment.
• Failure to yield. Common at intersections and during turns, particularly in high-traffic corridors near campus and event venues.
• Aggressive driving. Tailgating and unsafe lane changes, especially during OU gameday traffic surges.

What You Can Recover

Oklahoma law allows recovery for both economic and non-economic damages, including:

• Medical expenses, current and future
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering, subject to Oklahoma's damage cap
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Car Accident Claim FAQs

Should I Talk to the Other Driver's Insurance Company?

You should be cautious about providing a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney. Your answers may later be used to dispute fault, whether the crash caused your injuries, or the extent of your losses.

What If the Other Driver Doesn't Have Insurance?

If you carry Uninsured Motorist coverage, we can help you file a claim through your own insurer to recover your damages.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and our fee comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict, only if we win.

How Long Will My Case Take?

The timeline depends on the seriousness of the injuries, the clarity of fault, and whether the insurer disputes coverage or damages. Some claims resolve without litigation, while cases involving serious injuries or contested liability may take considerably longer.
