Do I Have a Strong Car Accident Case?

All drivers owe a duty of care to others on the road. This means they must follow all traffic laws and operate their vehicle responsibly. When their failure to do so leads to a collision, they become liable for the harm they cause. 

In other words, if you were in an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you should get legal advice right away. We can review the details of your case and advise whether you have a strong claim.

Our attorneys are prepared to handle car accident cases arising from many types of driver negligence, including:

• Distracted driving. Drivers engage in distracted driving whenever they take their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel, or their mind off the task of driving. Activities like texting, adjusting the navigation system, or eating divert attention and dramatically reduce reaction time, making a crash more likely.
• Speeding. Exceeding the posted speed limit or driving too fast for conditions (like rain or snow) gives a driver less time to perceive and react to hazards. Higher speeds also increase the force of impact, causing more severe injuries and requiring a longer distance for the vehicle to stop safely.
• Impaired driving. Driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or certain prescription medications severely compromises a driver's judgment, coordination, and reaction time. This impairment leads to reckless maneuvers, drifting out of lanes, and an inability to perceive the danger they pose to others.
• Disobeying traffic laws. This includes running red lights or stop signs, making illegal turns, or failing to yield the right-of-way to other vehicles as required by law.
• Reckless or aggressive driving. This category involves a deliberate disregard for the safety of others, including actions like excessive tailgating (following too closely) and making sudden and unsafe lane changes (weaving through traffic).

You may still have a case even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which may allow you to recover some of your damages minus your share of the blame.

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Oklahoma?

In Oklahoma, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a car accident lawsuit. This same two-year deadline applies to a wrongful death lawsuit for cases involving fatal injuries, though the clock typically begins running on the date the victim died, which isn’t necessarily the date of the initial collision. If you wait too long to take legal action, you will most likely be barred from pursuing your claim or recovering compensation.

Despite this two-year window, you shouldn’t wait to seek legal guidance if you suffered serious injuries in a car accident. The sooner you get in touch with our team at JJ Law, the sooner we can start building your case and working to preserve important evidence that may fade or disappear over time.
